Etihad competes with Emirates

EMIRATES Economy Class passengers residing in Al Ain and Abu Dhabi are seeing the results of rising competition between the established UAE carrier and Etihad, the fast expanding newcomer.  The Dubai-based airline is to increase the frequency of its free bus service to and from Emirates Airport Terminal 3.  In addition to the extra services Emirates has also invested significantly in revamping the bus, both inside and out.  Out goes the old seating and in comes new and more comfortable accommodation.  A single dedicated pick-up and drop-off point has been identified in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain to help cut down on passenger travel time.  Dubai will have two collection/drop-off points to account for arrivals and departures at the terminal.  Travel time is approximately two hours for either point. www.emirates.com
