Etihad to operate Ramadan flights between Al Ain and Jeddah

Etihad Airways, the national airline of the UAE, will again operate a daily scheduled flight between Abu Dhabi’s second largest city, Al Ain, and Jeddah in Saudi Arabia, during the last 10 days of Ramadan.

The airline will operate the flights from May 14 to 23 to meet increased demand during the busy religious travel period.

The flights, which will be operated by a two-class Airbus A320, have been timed to offer customers in Al Ain with convenient departures in both directions.

The unique service, first launched last year, demonstrates Etihad’s commitment to the culturally and strategically important ‘Oasis City’, which is home to a large proportion of the airline’s national customer base, and its staff employed at Etihad Aviation Training’s ab-initio pilot training facility, and its award-winning UAE Contact Centre. - TradeArabia News Service
