Etihad Airways has announced the addition of a third daily flight to Milan using its new Airbus A321LR aircraft, expanding its network to 10 destinations. The airline plans to launch this service later this year.
The new morning rotation will complement the existing service with a Boeing 777-300, offering departures throughout the day. Arik De, Chief Revenue and Commercial Officer at Etihad Airways, stated: "With our morning, afternoon and evening departures from Abu Dhabi and sensational value fares, our triple-daily Milan flights serve up perfect timings for guests travelling in both directions."
Data shows that over 34,000 passengers traveled between Abu Dhabi and Milan in the past year. With the increased frequency, Etihad expects to offer 12,600 weekly seats between these cities.
