Additional frequency to improve connectivity between UAE and Russia
Abu Dhabi: UAE’s national carrier, Etihad Airways, announced Monday it is strengthening its presence in Russia with a significant capacity increase on its Abu Dhabi-Moscow route.
Starting October 1, Etihad plans to add a third daily flight between Abu Dhabi and Moscow Sheremetyevo Airport (SVO), increasing the service to 21 weekly flights. The expanded service operates on an Airbus A320 aircraft featuring eight Business and 150 Economy seats.
In addition to the Moscow frequency increase, Etihad continues to expand its network with new routes planned for 2025, including a new service to Sochi, Russia’s premier resort destination on the Black Sea coast, starting May 29.
“The triple-daily flights are perfectly timed to facilitate both business travel and leisure trips, giving guests the option to choose departures throughout the day to suit their schedules,” the airline said.
