Etihad Airways are already known as a reliable and affordable airline company, so it’s great news that the national airline of the United Arab Emirates has recently begun direct flights between Abu Dhabi and Phuket, which has now become only the second destination they fly to in Thailand, after Bangkok of course!
The President and Chief Executive of Etihad Airlines, James Hogan, said, ““The new Phuket route is a natural expansion of our Thai network and a strong addition to our portfolio of leisure destinations, such as the Seychelles, Maldives and Sri Lanka.” And then went on to add, “With attractive departure and arrival times and seamless connections from more than 25 cities across the Arabian Gulf and Europe, the new services will contribute greatly to the growth of tourism to the region.”
The new flights have come into place at the right time with high-season just around the corner, providing an added boost to the island’s tourism.
James Hogan finished off by saying, “Holidaymakers from the UAE and GCC as well as from key European markets including London, Milan, Munich and Paris will now have enhanced travel options to the island destination and enjoy Etihad Airways’ award-winning service along the way.”
