Etihad Airways, the flag carrier of the United Arab Emirates, is bolstering its summer itinerary with the addition of flights to two fresh destinations: Antalya, Turkey, and Jaipur, India. Commencing June 15th and June 16th respectively, these new routes underscore Abu Dhabi’s emergence as a pivotal global aviation hub. The airline’s aim is to present travelers with unparalleled options to discover the allure of Abu Dhabi, both as a premier destination and a gateway to the world.
Antalya, nestled along the stunning Turkish Riviera, beckons travelers with its captivating fusion of historical significance, breathtaking natural landscapes, and modern charm. Its shores are steeped in tales of ancient civilizations, evidenced by archaeological wonders like Hadrian’s Gate and the Roman-era harbor. The region’s picturesque beaches, framed by azure waters and rugged cliffs, offer an idyllic backdrop for relaxation and exploration. Meanwhile, Antalya’s bustling city center brims with vibrant markets, lively cafes, and a thriving arts scene, ensuring visitors a multifaceted experience that caters to every taste and interest.
Jaipur, fondly referred to as India’s “Pink City,” stands as a testament to the country’s rich cultural tapestry and architectural grandeur. Steeped in history, this vibrant metropolis is adorned with magnificent forts, palaces, and temples, each narrating tales of bygone eras. Among its crown jewels are the iconic Hawa Mahal, a marvel of Rajputana architecture featuring intricately carved facades and lattice windows, and the majestic City Palace, a sprawling complex that serves as a repository of Jaipur’s royal legacy. Beyond its architectural splendors, Jaipur pulsates with the vibrant hues of its bustling bazaars, where artisans showcase exquisite handicrafts, textiles, and jewelry, offering visitors an immersive glimpse into the city’s rich cultural heritage.
Etihad Airways is making substantial strides in its summer schedule expansion, ensuring passengers enjoy expanded connectivity and a wider range of travel possibilities. Notably, the airline is ramping up frequencies to key destinations such as Thiruvananthapuram, Amman, Cairo, Karachi, and Colombo. In addition to bolstering existing routes, Etihad is introducing new services to Antalya, Turkey, and Jaipur, India, thereby augmenting its network to 75 destinations, with 11 gateways in India alone.
This expansion underscores Etihad’s deepening commitment to the Indian market and fortifies its global presence. Passengers will also benefit from the state-of-the-art amenities and customer-centric services available at the newly inaugurated Terminal A at Abu Dhabi’s Zayed International Airport. The revamped schedule is now open for bookings on Etihad Airways’ official website.
