Abu Dhabi-based Etihad Airways plans to launch non-stop daily B777-200LR direct flights to Los Angeles, California from 01 June , 2014 subject to regulatory approvals.
The Californian city will be the carrier's fourth US destination, joining Chicago, New York and Washington D.C, and will see the airline provide 28 return flights each week between the UAE and US.
Los Angeles, one of the world’s most popular, and multicultural destinations with a metropolitan population area of more than 18 million people, is the second largest in the US.
It is classified as a ‘global city’ with strengths in business, international trade, entertainment, culture, media, fashion, science, sports, technology, education, medicine and research.
The airline has carried nearly two million passengers between Abu Dhabi and its destinations in the US in the last seven years, with 2013 passenger volumes expected to increase by 30 per cent over passengers carried in 2012.
The new operation to Los Angeles will be a code share flight with American Airlines.
