Kolkata: Etihad Airways has scaled up capacity on routes to India and will launch new flights to the country, driven by escalating demand for more seat capacity.
The Middle Eastern carrier is scheduled to start a daily flight to Jaipur in 1Q2014.
It will also commence between seven and 14 flights per week to Kochi from June, to Bengaluru and Chennai from July, and to Hyderabad from October. New 174-seat Airbus A321 aircraft will be deployed on the Chennai and Kochi sectors.
Capacity on existing flights have also been raised. Etihad in mid-December introduced a second daily service and wide-bodied Airbus aircraft on its routes from Abu Dhabi to New Delhi and Mumbai, effectively tripling overall capacity.
