Etihad Airways has announced that the airline will increase its flights from Abu Dhabi to London Heathrow, from three to four daily services, to meet peak demand this festive season starting from 15th December 2018 to 13th January 2019.

"We are thrilled to announce more flights to London over the festive period. This is a busy time for local guests travelling between both capitals and the extra service will allow more choice and flexibility in their travel." Said James Harrison, General Manager for Etihad Airways in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

According to Etihad, the flights will be operated by a two-class Boeing 787-9, featuring 28 Business Studios and 271 Economy Smart Seats.

These services will operate in addition to Etihad Airways regularly scheduled 3 daily Abu Dhabi to London services which will continue to operate on 3-class Airbus A380 aircraft.

The additional services will also provide more connecting opportunities for passengers travelling between London and key destinations on Etihads global network.

In addition to the seasonal increase of service to London, Etihad Airways has also recently announced seasonal frequency increases and aircraft upgrades on a number of key routes to meet increased demand over the peak winter period. This includes an additional capacity to Bahrain, Belgrade, Cairo, Istanbul, Medina and Kuwait.

Etihad Airways was established by Royal (Emiri) Decree in July 2003 and is wholly owned by the Government of Abu Dhabi with a mandate to operate safely, commercially and profitably.

Etihad's guests are at the heart of everything it does. The airline is in a perfect geographical position and offers its guests a network of over 110 passenger and cargo destinations across six continents, with a young and environmentally friendly fleet of more than 120 aircraft.

Etihad is also one of five key business divisions of the Etihad Aviation Group (EAG). The diversified global aviation and travel group also includes Etihad Airways Engineering, Etihad Airport Services, Hala Group and Airline Equity Partners.
