Etihad’s Gateway to Paradise: Nonstop Flights to French Riviera and Greek Isles
The national airline of the United Arab Emirates, Etihad Airways, has unveiled its exciting Summer 24 schedule, highlighting its aspirational expansion goals.
The new nonstop flights to Nice, a destination on the French Riviera, and the direct services to the popular Greek vacation destinations of Mykonos and Santorini are among the highlights of the network changes, which are currently on sale.
Because passengers have been enjoying Etihad’s new flights to Copenhagen so much, the destination is now available all year round. The schedule adds more frequencies to the network, enhancing connectivity to places like Ahmedabad, Athens, Bangkok, and Colombo.
Highlights of the improved schedule include:
- Athens, Greece, sees an increase to 12 flights a week from May and 14 from July.
- Recently launched Copenhagen, Denmark is made a year-round destination.
- Malaga, Spain will enjoy a three-weekly service for Summer 2024.
- Mykonos, Greece will be served by two flights per week during the summer, with Santorini, Greece also getting two weekly flights.
- Nice, France will be served by two non-stop weekly services from June 2024.
- Bangkok, Thailand will benefit from three more flights a week from February to 17 a week.
- Colombo, Sri Lanka enjoys a frequency increase to 10 weekly flights from January rising to 14 from May, and an adjusted schedule for even better connectivity to European destinations.
In addition to the new summer schedules, other destinations for 2024 have already been revealed, such as Boston in North America, Nairobi in East Africa, and Kozhikode and Thiruvananthapuram on the Indian Subcontinent.
Etihad has reaffirmed its resolve to add multiple new destinations over the course of the upcoming year as part of its ongoing commitment to expanding its network.
