Etihad Airways will launch new seasonal routes from Abu Dhabi to Alexandria in Egypt, and Salalah in Oman, catering to strong demand during the summer peak.

The two new seasonal services will both operate four times a week between 2 July 2019 and 31 August 2019 using Airbus A320 aircraft.

Alexandria, the second-largest city in Egypt, is known for its rich history and beautiful beaches which stretch along its Mediterranean coastline.

Salalah, known for its natural beauty and culture, is particularly popular during these months with those looking to enjoy and experience the region’s unique Khareef, or green season.

Both Alexandria and Salalah attract large numbers of visitors during the summer months.

With the addition of these seasonal destinations, the airline will operate a total of 32 flights per week to Egypt, 28 flights to Cairo and four to Alexandria.

Qatar Airways will operate a total of 25 flights per week to Oman with 21 weekly flights to Muscat and four to Salalah.
