Turkey’s commercial capital will initially be served four times a week from June 2, expanding to five flights a week from October.
The addition of Istanbul will bring to 13 the number of European cities served by Etihad. The new destination will increase the Abu Dhabi-based airline’s global flight network to 54 cities and will also begin flights to Melbourne and Athens during 2009.
James Hogan, Etihad Airways’ chief executive, said: “Istanbul represents our second confirmed new European destination to be launched in 2009 and demonstrates the increasing importance of this market to our airline.”
“Trade links between the UAE and Turkey have grown substantially in recent years and we anticipate strong demand between these two important commercial centres. ” Hogan added.
The volume of trade between the UAE and Turkey grew by 400 per cent from $700 million in 2002 to $3.7 billion in 2007. The UAE currently has investments of more than $4 billion in Turkey, while Turkey has committed $40 billion in investments to the UAE within the next four years.
