ETIHAD AIRWAYS, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), has commenced non-stop flights from its home base in Abu Dhabi to Tokyo, a parallel service to that offered by Emirates, who fly from Dubai, just 70 miles along the fine dual carriageway costal road. Etihad will operate five non-stop flights per week to Tokyo, in addition to the services it offers to Nagoya. The services will be operated by three-class Airbus A330-200 aircraft and will feature in-flight services dedicated to the Japanese market, including a tailored menu, local in-flight entertainment content and cabin crew consisting of a number of Japanese speakers and nationals. Etihad's Tokyo services follow the commencement of the airline's flights to Nagoya in February this year and a code-share agreement ANA. www.etihadairways.com
