    Etihad Airways to launch services to Yerevan


    Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates,
    today announced the launch of a four times per week service from Abu
    Dhabi to Yerevan, the capital of the Republic of Armenia, from 2July
    2014.


    The UAE flag carrier will operate a two-class Airbus A320 aircraft
    with 16 Pearl Business Class and 120 Coral Economy Class seats,
    offering a total of 1,088 seats per week.
    Yerevan is the largest city of Armenia and one of the world's oldest
    continuously inhabited cities. Situated along the Hrazdan River, it
    serves as an administrative, cultural and industrial centre of the
    country with an estimated population of 1.1 million people.
    The new flights will cater for the significant and growing demand for
    air travel between the UAE and Armenia. They will also provide better
    access to and from Armenia for millions of Armenian nationals living
    around the world, particularly in the US, which ishome to a vast
    Armenian diaspora.
    James Hogan, Etihad Airways' President and Chief Executive Officer,
    said: "The launch of Etihad Airways' flights to Yerevan is consistent
    with our strategy of targeting areas of strong growth in emerging
    markets.
    "Etihad Airways will be the only full-service commercial airline from
    the Gulf region to serve Yerevan. Business and leisure travellers out
    of Armenia will have great opportunities to seamlessly connect over
    our Abu Dhabi hub to the entire Gulf network and key North American
    destinations.
    "The new Yerevan service will contribute to the development of tourism
    in Armenia and strengthen the already strong trade and tourism ties
    between the UAE and Armenia.'
    Armenia, which is around three hours flight time from Abu Dhabi, is an
    ideal destination for tourists seeking great culture and history
    alongside beautiful scenery and outdoor activities.© 2013 Global Data
