Abu Dhabi: Etihad Airways will fly daily to Dallas Fort Worth in the United States starting from April 16, 2015.

Dallas Fort Worth, located in Texas, will be introduced into Etihad Airways’ global route network on December 3 with an initial three flights per week service, prior to the upgrade. It is the airline’s sixth route in the US, alongside New York, Washington DC, Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco, which launches on November 18.

A Boeing 777-200LR aircraft will be operated on the route, offering a total of eight seats in first class, 40 seats in business class, and 177 seats in economy class.

The increased frequency will lead to enhanced travel connections between the US and key markets worldwide, including the GCC region and 12 cities served by Etihad Airways and its partner Jet Airways across India, such as Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Chennai.

Etihad Airways also plans to offer convenient connections with its codeshare partner American Airlines on a number of domestic routes from Dallas Fort Worth to major centres across the US.
