Etihad has announced it will operate its double-daily service to Dublin year-round.
Starting April 2017, the airline will fly the route 14-times a week – it currently operates the double-daily service on its summer schedule
The second daily operation coincides with the Abu Dhabi-based carrier’s 10th anniversary of flying to the Irish capital.
Kevin Knight, Etihad Aviation group chief strategy and planning officer, said: “We are delighted to announce the Dublin frequencies moving from a seasonal double daily to twice-daily year-round service.
“This is a commitment to the Irish market and demonstrates our confidence to dedicate capacity throughout the year on a route that has enjoyed tremendous support from travel partners. It also reflects our strategy to offer more flexibility, greater convenience and increased choice.”
