One of our preferred carriers, Etihad Airways has secured seven additional weekly flight frequencies from its Abu Dhabi home-base to Australia.
The seven flights can be operated to any gateway in Australia which includes Etihad’s current destinations of Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne.
A further seven weekly flights have been granted to Etihad on the condition that the operation also flies via or onto a regional airport.
Etihad currently flies 21 times a week between Abu Dhabi and Australia. This includes 11 flights to Sydney, seven to Melbourne and three to Brisbane. The new flight slots will available from March 2011.
More flights mean increased competition and that hopefully means better fares that we can pass on to our clients....so, the more airlines flying in to Australia, the merrier we say!
