Erbil (Iraq) gains another UK connection

ETIHAD AIRWAYS has launched non-stop flights from its home base in Abu Dhabi to Erbil, becoming the first UAE carrier to operate to northern Iraq.  Etihad will initially offer two return services per week with two-class Airbus A320 aircraft.  The commencement of Etihad's services to Erbil follows the successful launch of the airline's flights to Baghdad in April this year, which quickly grew from three services per week to a daily service.  With an 08:30 departure, and the return flight arriving at 15:10 the service connects up well with the overnight flights into Abu Dhabi from Europe. www.etihadairways.com
