Etihad Airways will open service in June from its Abu Dhabi International Airport (AUH) base to its 11th destination in India, part of northern-hemisphere summer schedule additions that will also see frequencies increase on five routes.
The airline describes the June plans as a “strategic expansion” with an emphasis on the Indian market’s importance and utilizing AUH as a connecting hub. The carrier will operate from AUH to Jaipur, the capital of the Indian state of Rajasthan, starting June 16, flying the route 4X-weekly with an Airbus A320.
