....e arriva Pechino!
I am pleased to announce that we will launch flights from Abu Dhabi to the Chinese capital of Beijing on March 30, 2008.
Beijing will be Etihad’s first destination in China and we will enter one of the world’s fastest growing air travel markets with four flights a week.
The destination will take our Asia-Pacific network to eight, alongside services to Brisbane, Sydney, Manila, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and Bangkok.
Beijing has established itself as one of the world’s fastest growing and most popular destinations and we anticipate tremendous demand from across our global network.
There is a huge appetite from business and leisure travellers for flights to Beijing, especially ahead of the 2008 Olympic Games, and we look forward to bringing the UAE and China closer together.
Our flights to Beijing will operate every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday with EY888 departing Abu Dhabi at 11.45pm and arriving in the Chinese capital at 11.30am the next day.
Return flight EY889 departs from Beijing every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 7.10pm arriving in Abu Dhabi at 00.20am the next day.
The flight times connect conveniently with many of our services from the Middle East and Europe, including London Heathrow, Dublin, Bahrain, Beirut and Jeddah.
We will operate a two class Airbus A330-200 on the route, configured to carry 262 passengers with 22 in business class and 240 in economy class.
