Etihad launch Boeing 777 service from Manchester
16.06.10
Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, can accommodate almost 60 percent more passengers from Manchester Airport after it introduced a Boeing 777 aircraft on the route yesterday. The Boeing 777, with 28 Pearl Business class and 384 Coral Economy class seats, replaces the two-class Airbus A330 to the airline’s home hub in Abu Dhabi for the summer schedule.
The airline currently operates a daily flight between Manchester and Abu Dhabi, with connections to its global network including destinations such as Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Cape Town, Sydney, Hyderabad and Beijing. The capacity increase will see more than 2100 extra seats available each week over the summer.
Etihad will further improve services at Manchester Airport later this year with the opening of a dedicated Etihad Airways premium lounge – the third outside of Abu Dhabi. The lounge will offer five-star dining, a family room, and a business centre.
