Etihad Airways will increase its flights from Abu Dhabi to London Heathrow, from three to (up to) four daily services, to meet peak demand during the month of April.

Commencing April 5th, the flights will be operated by a two-class Boeing 787-9, configured with 299 seats.

The increase in service coincides with Etihad Holidays launch of its best ever holiday offer from the UK to Abu Dhabi.

James Harrison, general manager for Etihad Airways in the United Kingdom & Ireland, said: “We are thrilled to announce more flights to London during April, in response to increased demand in the lead up to and post the Easter holidays.

“This is a busy travel time for families looking to enjoy the extended school holiday.

“This extra service will allow our guests more choice and flexibility with their travel plans.”

These services will operate in addition to Etihad Airways’ regularly scheduled three daily Abu Dhabi to London services, which will continue to operate with Airbus A380 aircraft.
