Etihad Airways’ new service to Atlanta, which is set to launch four-times a week on July 2, is proving so popular that the airline has decided to make it a daily flight from November 1.
The frequency increase on the route between Zayed International Airport (AUH) and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) is the UAE’s only non-stop connection to Atlanta and will provide even greater flexibility and convenience for travellers.
The service will be operated using the airline’s latest Airbus A350-1000 featuring 44 Business class seats and 327 economy seats.
Etihad daily flights from Abu Dhabi to Atlanta
Jurriaan Stelder, Senior Vice President Network and Alliances at Etihad Airways, said: “Since announcing our flights to Atlanta in November, we’ve seen great interest from guests, and that’s why we have decided to step up to daily flights on this already very popular route.
“Connecting Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the world’s busiest by passenger volume, with our growing global network means seamless one-stop connections to some of Atlanta’s most popular South Asian destinations including Bengaluru, Chennai, Mumbai and Karachi.
It also offers more opportunities for guests to visit our wonderful home Abu Dhabi as part of a stopover break or a longer holiday.”
Fares from Abu Dhabi to Atlanta start at AED1,925 ($524) in Economy and AED10,010 ($2,725) in Business Class.
The move to daily flights to Atlanta is part of Etihad’s continued growth plans which include newly-announced routes to 13 other global destinations this year.
