Jat Airways flight arrives at Abu Dhabi International Airport

Abu Dhabi: Abu Dhabi Airports Company (Adac) welcomed on Wednesday Jat Airways to Abu Dhabi International Airport.

The first passenger aircraft arriving from Belgrade was greeted by water cannons after it touched down at the airport.

The route provides the first direct air link between Abu Dhabi and Belgrade since 1998.

Jat Airways will operate two flights per week to Terminal 1 at Abu Dhabi International Airport with a 126-seat B737 aircraft.

In-bound Abu Dhabi flights will arrive at 6:55am on Wednesday and Friday and out-bound flights will depart at 7:45am on the same days.

Convenient morning departure out of Abu Dhabi means quick connections to other European gateways, such as Paris, Milan and Amsterdam through Belgrade.
