ETIHAD AIRWAYS TO INCREASE DUBLIN FLIGHTS
AND CONNECTIONS

Etihad Airways, the national carrier of the United Arab Emirates, will add two extra weekly services between Dublin and Abu Dhabi from 13th December'07, providing passengers with a choice of six non-stop flights each week.

The extra 800 seats in and out of Dublin each week are in response to customer demand and set to take place just six months after the airline's first flight from Dublin to Abu Dhabi.

The additional capacity will open up a range of short and long-haul connections for Irish air travellers flying via Etihad's Abu Dhabi home base. Passengers will benefit from better connection times to a number of key destinations across the Etihad network including: Amman, Damascus, Bahrain, Doha, Kuwait, Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, New Delhi, Mumbai, Thiruvananthapuram, Kochi, Karachi, Dhaka, Bangkok and Sydney.
