Etihad Airways To Add Jaipur And Bali To Its Growing Network

Etihad Airways, the national airline of the UAE, is making a significant impression at the Arabian Travel Market (ATM), which commenced today. The airline is not only highlighting its rapid growth and ambitious future plans but also its substantial investments in enhancing guest experiences. This year's ATM sees Etihad in partnership with Zayed International Airport, introducing its new base in Abu Dhabi to thousands of visitors, including notable guests, travel trade customers, media members, and tourism partners.

Javier Alija, Vice President Sales and Distribution at Etihad Airways, expressed enthusiasm about the week ahead. "We’re looking forward to a great week ahead at the Arabian Travel Market, where we have the opportunity to showcase the growth story at Etihad Airways, in partnership with Zayed International Airport, our new home in Abu Dhabi. We look forward to welcoming our trade and tourism partners and industry peers to our stand and look forward to a fruitful week for the important travel trade industry," he said.

The collaboration with Zayed International Airport is a highlight of Etihad's presentation, showcasing the airport's state-of-the-art facilities. Opened in November 2023, the airport enhances passenger experience with streamlined check-in processes, dedicated spaces for different classes of travelers, biometric self-check-in, and security facilities. Additionally, it offers world-class duty-free shopping, dining options, and exclusive lounges for First and Business class passengers and eligible Etihad Guest members.

Etihad's stand at ATM is also a platform to demonstrate its network expansion. Since last year's event, the airline has announced or launched 15 new destinations. This includes inaugural flights to Boston and two new destinations in Kerala, India. In the coming months, Etihad plans to start operations to Jaipur and Bali, along with summer destinations such as Al Qassim, Antalya, Malaga, Nice, Mykonos, and Santorini.

Visitors to Etihad's stand can explore the airline's latest investments in guest experience. This includes the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner seats showcased at ATM. The Dreamliners, which joined Etihad's fleet in February, feature an exclusive Business class with enhanced privacy and advanced technology. The Economy cabin seats are also on display, highlighting the comfort and convenience offered onboard.

Moreover, Etihad has introduced brand-new amenity kits in partnership with renowned designer Giorgio Armani and leading skincare brand ESPA. The airline's collaboration with Armani/Casa for the Business class experience and its elegant dining solution for Economy class are also showcased at ATM.

Etihad Airways' presence at the Arabian Travel Market underscores its commitment to growth, innovation in guest experience, and strengthening partnerships within the travel industry. As it showcases its latest offerings and future plans in collaboration with Zayed International Airport, Etihad continues to enhance its position as a leading airline on a global scale.
