Etihad Airways will boost its services from Abu Dhabi to London Heathrow with additional flights between the two cities during the busy summer period.

The additional flights will be operated by a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, supplementing the current three daily all-Airbus A380 services between both capital cities.

During the summer period, the Abu Dhabi – London route will be served up to five times daily.

Between 26 May and 22 June, four daily flights will be operated on the route, increasing to five from 23 June to 28 September, returning to four daily flights from 29 September to 26 October.

The extra flights are conveniently timed to provide easy connections via Abu Dhabi to and from key destinations across the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Australia.

Etihad Airway’s two-class Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner offers a total of 299 seats including 28 Business Studios and 271 Economy Smart seats.
