With flights being brought back and increased in frequency, the effect will be seen farther afield. Etihad will raise their weekly flight count from 77 to 118.
Beginning in the beginning of the next year, Etihad Airways intends to extend its network in India by adding extra flights to Ahmedabad, Chennai, and Cochin in addition to flying to Delhi. These new destinations will be added in addition to Delhi. This would inject much-needed energy into the country's civil aviation sector, which is desperately in need of it. The airline has stated that commencing on the 26th of March 2023, it would begin running daily flight service between Abu Dhabi and Kolkata.
According to reports, the flights will be conducted by an Airbus A320 aircraft, which would provide eight seats in the business class and one hundred fifty seats in the economy class. In addition, the press release said that the departure and arrival airports for each trip would be the same.
"in parallel with re-establishing air links to Kolkata, Etihad will boost its network with additional services to Ahmedabad (bringing it up to 2 daily flights) and Chennai (twice daily") in the coming weeks," a spokesperson for Etihad Airways said in a statement that was provided to the news agency PTI by Etihad Airways. "in parallel with re-establishing air links to Kolkata, Etihad will boost its network with additional services to Ahmedabad." Etihad will expand its service area by introducing additional routes to Ahmedabad and Chennai in addition to Kolkata, as part of its expansion plan.
In addition to this, Cochin will start getting an additional six flights on March 26, 2023, increasing the total number of weekly flights to 13.
Beginning on the 24th of April in the year 2023, there will also be a second daily service operating between Delhi and Mumbai. This service will commence operations. This service will start shortly.
The spokesman for the airline also said that the expansion of the company's footprint would take place as a result of the resumption of flights from Kolkata as well as the increased frequency of service on other routes. This information was provided by the spokesperson for the airline. It is anticipated that the expansion of the firm would be influenced positively by both of these variables. As a direct result of this, there will be a total of 118 more flights per week, as compared to the present number of 77.
It was said in the announcement that Martin Drew, Senior Vice President for Global Sales & Cargo at Etihad Airways, remarked that "Our return to Kolkata will also happen at the same time that we travel twice daily to New York." This will provide better access between India and the United States via AbuDhabi, where our guests can take advantage of our US pre-clearance facility for a seamless arrival into the states. "Our return to Kolkata will also come at the same time as we go double daily to New York," he added. "Our guests can take advantage of our US pre-clearance facility for a seamless arrival into the states." Our visitors are more than welcome to make use of our US pre-clearance facilities, which will guarantee a smooth admission into the nation.
