The airline Etihad Airways, represented in Israel by Maman Aviation, announces today that the line between Tel Aviv and Abu Dhabi will switch to working with a two-day flight format starting on August 6 and not as initially planned on September 26 as planned.
The decision to advance is part of a strategy led by the company's CEO, Antonaldo Neves, to switch to operating by the end of the year all destinations that are up to a 4-hour flight from Abu Dhabi Airport, in the format of a two-day flight.
The flights of Etihad Airways are offered in Airbus A320 (158 seats) and Airbus A321 (188 seats) aircraft. The shuttles will take off from Zaid Airport at 09:45 and land in Tel Aviv at 12:25. The flight from Tel Aviv will take off at 14:45 and land in Abu Dhabi at 18:55. The additional flight will take off from Abu Dhabi at 03:25 and land in Tel Aviv at 05:50. The flight from Tel Aviv will take off at 07:30 and land in Abu Dhabi at 11:40.
The increase in the company's flight status already during August and September opened up discounted options for the Israelis to reach Thailand. Currently, a departure from Tel Aviv to Bangkok on 8.8 and return on 30.8 appears on the website at a price of $863 and a departure on 4.9 and return on 18.9 now appears at a price of $735.
