DUBAI (NNN-Bernama) -- Abu Dhabi-based Etihad Airways has announced that the airline will start flying to Ahmedabad in November, Press Trust of India reported.

Flights will operate daily between Abu Dhabi and Ahmedabad in the western Indian state of Gujrat, the airline's ninth destination in India.

Etihad's new service will offer about 1,000 seats a week to the Gujarati city, Etihad Airways' President and CEO James Hogan said.

The airline will also provide a flight to the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa in the same month.

Flights between Abu Dhabi and Addis Ababa, its ninth destination in Africa, will initially operate five times a week before increasing daily in 2013.

"We continue to build strength and depth to our global network and the addition of Ahmedabad, the fifth largest city in India and Addis Ababa, a major East African hub, will make significant contributions to traffic flows to Abu Dhabi and beyond," Hogan said.

The two new cities will expand the airline's reach to 86 passenger and cargo destinations around the world. -- NNN-BERNAMA
