ABU DHABI / WAM
Effective from October 1, Etihad Airways will operate the Airbus A380 on its second daily service linking Abu Dhabi and Paris Charles de Gaulle. This will transform the airline’s operation between the UAE and Fance into a year-round all-A380 service, joining London Heathrow as the second European destination enjoying daily multiple visits
by Etihad’s award-winning double-decker aircraft.
The airline has operated the A380 between Abu Dhabi and Paris on one of its two daily flights since July 1, 2017, with the service performing very strongly since its introduction.
Commenting on the announcement, Peter Baumgartner, Etihad Airways CEO, said, “Paris has always been a very special destination on the Etihad network and the number of visitors from France to Abu Dhabi, and vice versa has continued to show significant growth. The route has never been more in demand.
