			   Etihad Airways has unveiled plans to add four weekly 
			  flights to its Abu Dhabi – New York route, effective 15 November 
			  2022. The additional flights mean that Etihad will operate a total of 11 
			  weekly nonstop services to John F. Kennedy International Airport 
			  (JFK). The new flights will be operated with Boeing 
			  787-9 aircraft, while existing daily services will continue on 
			  Etihad’s new Airbus A350 aircraft, which has been deployed on the 
			  New York route since June. Etihad passengers travelling to the US will be 
			  able to take advantage of Etihad’s US pre-clearance facility, the 
			  only United States Customs and Border Protection facility in the 
			  Middle East.   Etihad Airways B787-9 reg: A6-BLX. Picture by Steven Howard of TravelNewsAsia.comThe service allows passengers bound for the United States to 
			  process all immigration, customs and agriculture inspections in 
			  Abu Dhabi before they board their flight, avoiding immigration and 
			  queues on arrival in the US. Alex Featherstone, Vice President Network Planning 
			  & Alliances, said, “Etihad is enhancing its schedule this winter 
			  to provide even more options for our guests across key business 
			  and leisure destinations in our global network. Our New York 
			  service continues to perform strongly, and having already 
			  experienced record passenger demand this summer, Etihad is excited 
			  to be investing further in this market by building on frequency 
			  levels ahead of the peak winter travel period.” With 11 flights per week to New York-JFK, and 
			  daily services to Chicago and Washington, Etihad will offer a 
			  total of 25 weekly services this winter between Abu Dhabi and the 
			  United States, and over 50% more premium seats than in the 
			  previous winter 2021 season. Etihad's Abu Dhabi - New York flight schedule,
