Etihad Airways has announced that it will resume flight services between Kolkata and Abu Dhabi on Sunday, March 26. It is the national airline of the United Arab Emirates.
The flights operate daily and will be operated by Airbus A320 aircraft offering 8 business class seats and 150 economy class seats.
With the restart of services to Kolkata, Etihad will now fly to 14 destinations in the region – India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and the Maldives, the airline said in a statement.
The plane will take off from Abu Dhabi at 9.10pm local time and land in Kolkata at 3.30am. The plane will depart Kolkata at 4.35am and arrive in the UAE capital at 8.15am local time.
Last week, low-cost carrier Air Arabia launched a service between Kolkata and Abu Dhabi, flying three days a week. It also operates an Airbus A320.
Kolkata has direct flights to Dubai and Doha, two other West Asian destinations.
Etihad Airways’ resumption of Kolkata-Abu Dhabi service is expected to provide passengers with more options to travel to and from India and the Middle East.
