Etihad Increases Seat Capacity on Route to Israel

In depth

Etihad Airways will increase seat capacity on the Tel Aviv–Abu Dhabi route by about 11% starting November 9. According to Israel Hayom, the move stems from growing demand for connecting flights to the East via the destination, and the number of weekly flights will remain unchanged: six flights a day.

According to Israel Hayom, the afternoon flight departing at 14:00 will be operated with a Boeing 787 Dreamliner with 316 seats, instead of an Airbus A321 with 188 seats. According to Maariv, the airline is expanding the route after Flydubai and Emirates pulled back from it.
