Etihad Airways to add 4 flights to Cairo route

Etihad Airways, the flag carrier of Abu Dhabi, unveiled plans to further expand flights to Egypt, Arabian Business reported.

The carrier said it will add four additional flights, taking its total weekly flights to Cairo to 18, starting from June.
Despite the Arab Spring's impact, this route has continued to perform strongly, James Hogan, Etihad Airways president and CEO said.
He also expected to see continuing strong demand on this route, particularly from government and business travelers, as well as the Egyptian expatriate population living in Abu Dhabi and across the UAE.
The extra Airbus A320 services will also significantly improve connectivity over the airline's Abu Dhabi hub to key destinations in Southeast Asia and Australia, Etihad said.
Etihad Airways started flight operations to Cairo in November 2004.
