Intending passengers in the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Egypt planning their travel and holidays with Etihad Airways can now pay via monthly Installments when booking flights directly on Etihad.com.

The Airline is the first in the region to offer fully automated online Installment plans after partnering with PayFort, the leading online payment service provider in the Arab world.

The initiative is designed to allow families and those on a budget book flights to their dream destination with convenient, payment plans tailored to their requirements.

Eligibility for payment plans depends on the individual bank and plans range from three to 60 months, with 17 participating banks. Full details and the list of banks can be found at etihad.com/installments

To participate in a payment plan, travellers need only select the “Pay by Installment” option, choose the bank they have a credit card with and choose their payment period and terms when making an online payment.

Etihad Airways earlier this week launched a special Economy and Business Class offers to destinations such as London, Bangkok and New York.

Full details of the special offer can be found at etihad.com, guest must book by 22 September 2017.
