Abu Dhabi, UAE - Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, is ramping up flights between Abu Dhabi and Jakarta from daily to double-daily.
From 1 October 2023, business and leisure travellers can look forward to 14 weekly non-stop flights between Abu Dhabi and the Indonesian capital, providing more choice, flexibility and convenience.
The flights will be operated using Etihad's fleet of modern Boeing B787 and B777 aircraft, offering guests comfortable seats, personal inflight entertainment systems, and an award-winning and attentive service.
"Etihad Airways is delighted to boost air connectivity between Abu Dhabi and Indonesia, one of the fastest-growing economies in the world," said Arik De, Chief Revenue Officer at Etihad Airways.
"Our new flight has been optimised to arrive in Abu Dhabi in the morning, giving travellers from Indonesia a head-start to explore the attractions of our vibrant capital city.
