Etihad Airways launches Washington, D.C. route

2/24/2012 10:10:29 AM

Etihad Airways has commenced daily, nonstop service to Washington Dulles International Airport from its Abu Dhabi hub. The flights, which will be performed on A340-500 aircraft, will offer a weekly freight capacity of 140 tonnes and complement the carrier’s existing cargo routes to and from North America.

The daily route will enable Etihad to address increased trade volumes between the U.S. and the United Arab Emirates, which surged 43 percent, year-over-year, in 2011, according to U.S. Department of Commerce data. In fact, the UAE ranks as the largest export market for U.S. goods in the Middle East.

The U.S. is also the UAE’s fifth largest trading partner.

This route marks the carrier’s fourth North American destination. Etihad launched service to Toronto, New York and Chicago in 2005, 2006 and 2009, respectively.
