Etihad Airways to launch Alexandria Flights

Etihad Airways is to launch four flights-a-week to Alexandria in Egypt, subject to government approval.

The new service, which the airline hopes will commence this month, will operate every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from Etihad’s home base in Abu Dhabi to El Nouzha airport in Alexandria.

James Hogan, Etihad Airways Chief Executive, said, “Alexandria is an important strategic destination which will serve the Egyptian expatriate population living in Abu Dhabi and across the UAE, as well as growing numbers of business and leisure travellers looking to fly to the city.”

Etihad will operate an Airbus A320 aircraft on the Abu Dhabi to Alexandria route which is configured to carry 136 passengers. The airline started flights Cairo in November 2004 and flies double daily to the Egyptian capital.
