Etihad Airways- 15 years of operation in India

Abu Dhabi-based Etihad Airways has celebrated 15 years since first starting operations in India, the airline’s second largest market after the UAE.

Mumbai was Etihad’s first Indian route, and has carried more than 3.5 million passengers since its debut. Currently Etihad manages four daily services to Mumbai, with the fourth introduced last year.

Etihad Airways SVP global sales Danny Barranger says that the airline remains committed to its largest and busiest market, India. “We are proud that today Etihad Airways serves more destinations in India than any other country across its network, truly supporting the growth of air travel to and from the country.”

Currently, Etihad operates 161 return flights per week between the UAE capital and 10 key Indian locations. These include Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Cochin, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Kozhikode, Mumbai and Thiruvananthapuram.
