Etihad Airways has unveiled plans to launch a
second daily flight between Abu Dhabi and Manila, Philippines in
October.
Going double daily means Etihad will offer 450,000
seats annually between AUH and MNL, a year-on-year
capacity increase of 75%.
The additional frequency will also increase the
total annual cargo capacity to almost 30,000 tonnes, opening more
business opportunities and supporting the growth of bilateral
trade.

Both daily frequencies will be operated with Boeing 787 Dreamliner
aircraft.
“As one of our biggest markets for point-to-point
travel, Etihad is proud to offer our guests a greater choice of
options and easier access between the UAE and Manila," said Martin
Drew, Senior Vice President Global Sales and Cargo. "Our double-daily service will provide the large
Filipino population in the UAE with convenient access to visit
family and loved ones back home and support the recovery in
tourism as more holidaymakers flock to discover the stunning
islands of Philippines.”
In Southeast Asia, Etihad will offer up to 56
weekly flights this winter between Abu Dhabi and Manila (14 weekly
flights), Bangkok (14), Phuket (7), Singapore (7), Kuala Lumpur
(7) and Jakarta (7).
