The national airline of the UAE has commenced non-stop daily flights between Abu Dhabi and Rome, using an Airbus A330-200 aircraft in a two-class configuration that features 22 Business Class seats and 240 Economy Class seats.
The service will depart Abu Dhabi at 02.40 and arrive in Rome at 07.10, and take off from the Italian capital at 12.00 to land in Abu Dhabi at 19.55.
Commenting on the new service, the carrier’s president and CEO, James Hogan, said: “Italy is a very important market for Etihad Airways and we are delighted to establish a second gateway here, after Milan Malpensa.
“Demand from business and leisure travellers has been incredibly strong on this new route, strengthened by the convenient onward connections we offer in both directions, either with Etihad Airways’ own flights or through our extensive network of codeshare and alliance partners.”
