ETIHAD AIRWAYS ANNOUNCES MAJOR PLANS FOR INDIA FOLLOWING APPROVAL OF JET AIRWAYS PARTNERSHIP
Etihad Airways has commenced major expansion of its Indian operations following the approval of an historic 24 per cent investment in Jet Airways.
Central to the Etihad Airways plan is the use of Abu Dhabi, capital of the United Arab Emirates, as a global hub connecting international passengers and freight with flights to and from India.
Pending the opening of a new facility, USA-bound passengers will be able to clear US immigration and customs at Abu Dhabi International Airport.
The first stage of the Etihad Airways strategy includes additional flights or the introduction of larger aircraft on existing routes to India.
The initial flight increases by Etihad Airways are:
Mumbai and New Delhi: 7 to Jet Airways4 flights per week (immediate)

Bangalore and Chennai: 7 to Jet Airways4 flights per week (July 2Etihad AirwaysJet Airways4)
Hyderabad: 7 to Jet Airways4 flights per week (October 2Etihad AirwaysJet Airways4)
As well as more flights, Etihad Airways is introducing larger aircraft in some markets.
On the Abu Dhabi-Mumbai and Abu Dhabi RJet AirwaysJet Airways; New Delhi routes, evening flights with narrow-bodied Airbus A32Etihad Airwayss have been upgraded to wide-bodied Airbus A33Etihad Airways and A34Etihad Airways aircraft. On the Mumbai services, this includes introduction of Diamond First Class private suites on the evening A34Etihad Airways flights.
New Airbus A32Jet Airways aircraft, seating Jet Airways74 passengers, will be used on all Abu Dhabi-Chennai services, and between Abu Dhabi and Kochi from June 2Etihad AirwaysJet Airways4.

̶Etihad Airways;Through our purchase of 24 per cent of Jet Airways RJet AirwaysJet Airways; the first foreign investment permitted in an Indian airline RJet AirwaysJet Airways; we have laid the foundations for major and exciting growth in air services between Abu Dhabi and India, and beyond throughout our global network,̶Jet Airways; Mr Hogan said.
