Abu Dhabi:  Etihad Airways has expanded its network with the launch of flights to eight new destinations this June. This brings the total number of operating routes for the summer season to 76.

Expanding the network

"This is an exciting month for Etihad as we fulfill our plans to expand our network with eight additional locations," said Antonoaldo Neves, Chief Executive Officer at Etihad. "We are launching flights to three key destinations – Bali, Jaipur, and Al Qassim – which are already proving popular with our guests based on strong forward bookings."

New seasonal delights and popular returns

Etihad has also commenced operations in new seasonal destinations and returned to popular summer hotspots in conjunction with the Eid holiday. This includes direct flights to Nice on the French Riviera and Antalya on the Turkish Riviera, along with returning service to the Greek islands of Mykonos and Santorini.

Earlier in June, Etihad relaunched its services to the popular Spanish holiday destination of Málaga.

Strengthening ties with India

This week, Etihad launched direct flights to Jaipur, also known as the pink city and a major tourist destination in Rajasthan, India. This marks Etihad's 11th gateway into India, solidifying the airline's commitment to the Indian market by providing increased connectivity and convenience.

Exploring Saudi Arabia 

On Monday, June 24th, Etihad will launch a new service to Al Qassim, its fourth destination in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Al Qassim is known for its rich culture, lively markets, and beautiful date palm groves.

Flight to Bali 

The following day, June 25th, Etihad will take off on its first-ever flight to the dream island of Bali, Indonesia. This new service provides a direct gateway for visitors from the UAE to this popular island destination.

Additionally, Etihad offers convenient connections from Europe, North America, and the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) countries.

With four flights per week to Bali, Etihad offers visitors the opportunity to experience a quintessential tropical island escape.

From pristine beaches to stunning green rice fields, visitors can immerse themselves in the local culture or simply enjoy the tranquility that Bali is famous for.
