Czech Airlines has launched four non-stop weekly
flights between Abu Dhabi and Prague. The flights will operate on
a codeshare agreement with Etihad Airways.
Using an Airbus A319 aircraft, the flights will
depart from Abu Dhabi International Airport every Monday and
Thursday at 09:50 local time (LT) to arrive in Prague at 14:15,
and every Sunday and Wednesday at 01:35 to arrive in Prague at
06:00.
The new route will bring the number of destinations
served at Abu Dhabi International Airport to over 85 destinations
across more than 45 countries around the world.
“Thanks to the perfect harmonization of departure and
arrival times at Abu Dhabi, destinations in the Middle East,
Africa, the Indian subcontinent, Asia and Australia have never
been as accessible from Prague as they are now. We look forward to
working with Abu Dhabi Airports Company (ADAC) on further
developing our services to travelers from Abu Dhabi International
Airport,” said Miroslav Dvorák, President of Czech Airlines. “And thanks to a very close and fruitful
cooperation with Etihad Airways enchanting city of Prague opens
not only to point to point travelers from Abu Dhabi but also to a
numerous number of passengers travelling via Abu Dhabi from the
wide network of destinations offered by Etihad Airways.”
Tickets for the new
route can be purchased through both Czech Airlines and Etihad
Airways, as the partnership between Czech Airlines and Etihad
Airways allows both companies’ passengers to book and travel with
just one ticket for their entire journey with a stopover in Abu
Dhabi.
Peter Baumgartner, Etihad Airways Chief
Commercial Officer said, “We’re delighted to welcome the inaugural
Czech Airlines codeshare flight into Abu Dhabi ... this new strategic relationship which includes,
but is not limited to, just a codeshare agreement, illustrates
Etihad’s growing ambitions in the Central and Eastern Europe
region. It opens up the beautiful city of Prague that we have been
eager to offer our guests for such a long time, and we are certain
these new connections and the seamless flight experience offered
jointly by Etihad and Czech Airlines, will appeal to both business
and leisure travellers alike.”
