Etihad Airways to increase frequency to London

Etihad Airways has decided to increase frequency to London for the festive season. Effective 15 December 2018 – 13 January 2019, Etihad Airways will increase its flights from Abu Dhabi to London Heathrow, from three to four daily services, to meet peak demand this festive season.

The flights will be operated by a two-class Boeing 787-9, featuring 28 Business Studios and 271 Economy Smart Seats.

“We are thrilled to announce more flights to London over the festive period. This is a busy time for local guests travelling between both capitals and the extra service will allow more choice and flexibility in their travel,” said James Harrison, General Manager for Etihad Airways in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

The additional services will also provide more connecting opportunities for passengers travelling between London and key destinations on Etihad’s global network.

Flight No EY13 will depart from Abu Dhabi at 07.05 am and reach London Heathrow at 11.00 am. The return flight, EY14 from London Heathrow will depart at 12.50 pm and reach Abu Dhabi by 11.45 pm.

These services will operate in addition to Etihad Airways’ regularly scheduled 3 daily Abu Dhabi to London services which will continue to operate on 3-class Airbus A380 aircraft.

In addition to the seasonal increase of service to London, Etihad Airways has also recently announced seasonal frequency increases and aircraft upgrades on a number of key routes to meet increased demand over the peak winter period. This includes additional capacity to Bahrain, Belgrade, Cairo, Istanbul, Medina and Kuwait.
