Etihad announces start of daily Abu Dhabi-Damascus flights
The daily services will commence in November.
Etihad Airways plans to boost Abu Dhabi-Damascus flights to a daily service starting November 14, increasing frequency from four to seven times a week. This move comes after receiving strong demand on the route since flights started in June, catering to families, business travellers and passengers with onward connections through Abu Dhabi.
Etihad's Chief Revenue and Commercial Officer, Arik De, revealed the response to the Damascus service has exceeded expectations, noting the airline is delighted with the reception since the inaugural flight. The expanded schedule aims to offer passengers greater flexibility, allowing Syrian residents in the UAE to plan trips home around family occasions and long weekends.
Additionally, it will strengthen links between Syria and destinations across Etihad's extensive global network, including Muscat, the Maldives, North America (Toronto, New York, Charlotte), Calgary (joining Etihad's network on October 25), and other destinations.
