Etihad Airways To Launch Flights To Los Angeles

Etihad Airways recently announced the launch of direct flights to Los Angeles from next year.

The expansion of its US operation will see the airline commence non-stop daily flights between its Abu Dhabi home-base and Los Angeles from 1 June 2014 subject to regulatory approvals.

The Californian city will be Etihad Airways’ fourth US destination, joining Chicago, New York and Washington DC and will see the airline provide 28 return flights each week between the UAE and US.

“We are delighted to add Los Angeles, a major US and global destination with a significant metropolitan population and growing economy, to the Etihad Airways’ network in 2014,” James Hogan, Etihad Airways’ President and Chief Executive Officer, said.

Mr. Hogan added that the expansion would see Etihad Airways offer air travelers daily flights, from its Abu Dhabi hub, to four destinations across the US.
