Etihad ramps up summer services

Etihad Airways is launching five seasonal routes this week that connect Abu Dhabi to popular summer hotspots across Europe and the Indian Ocean.

Three seasonal services took off on Wednesday, connecting the UAE capital to Nice on the famous French Côte d’Azur, the historic city of Heraklion on the Greek island of Crete, and Malaga in Spain.

All three routes are set to be operated on a twice-per-week basis.

The airline's summer schedule will get a further boost in the next two days with the establishment of routes to the islands of Santorini in Greece and Zanzibar in Tanzania, both operating three times weekly.

To celebrate these route launches, guests on the inaugural flights are being presented with an exclusive Etihad wellbeing kit to kickstart their summer holiday.

Designed with sustainability and health and wellness in mind, the kits include a mini tote bag upcycled from flight blankets, a limited-edition reusable infuser water bottle and naturally carbonated FRÍO® sparkling water from the UAE.
