Etihad to boost Heathrow flights
Middle Eastern airline Etihad has announced that it will increase the number of flights it operates from Heathrow Airport later this year.
The carrier said that it boost its London schedule to Abu Dhabi to 19 flights a week, compared with 14 weekly services at present, as part of a general overhaul of its timetable for the winter period.
Beginning at the end of the October, the changes will see Etihad's global flight schedule expand by 21 per cent, with 716 services to be operated across the world every week.
"Customers will benefit tremendously with the extra number of flights and a much improved timetable which will see better, shorter and more frequent flight transfer connections at our Abu Dhabi base," commented James Hogan, chief executive of Etihad.
Earlier this month, the airline won an award for its economy class inflight meals as a result of a survey carried out by Skytrax.
