Etihad Airways will introduce a second daily flight between Abu Dhabi and Dublin on April 1, 2017.

“We are delighted to announce the Dublin frequencies moving from a seasonal double daily to twice-daily year-round service,” said Kevin Knight, chief strategy and planning officer of the Etihad Aviation Group. “This is a commitment to the Irish market and demonstrates our confidence to dedicate capacity throughout the year on a route that has enjoyed tremendous support from travel partners. It also reflects our strategy to offer more flexibility, greater convenience and increased choice.”
