Etihad Airways will make San Francisco its sixth destination planned for
the USA, saying it will launch daily nonstop service to its Abu Dhabi
hub Nov. 18. And, in an unusual move, Etihad will operate the route
using the aircraft of its Indian partner, Jet Airways.
Etihad's current U.S. destinations are Chicago O'Hare, Los Angeles, New York JFK and Washington Dulles. And, on Dec. 3, Etihad will begin nonstop service to Dallas/Fort Worth.
"The United States has been placed at the heart of our network development this year, with services launched to Los Angeles last month and flights commencing to Dallas in December 2014," Etihad CEO James Hogan says in a statement. "San Francisco is another strong addition and provides our first direct link to Northern California."
Etihad's new San Francisco service will be launched with the help of Jet Airways, one of several carriers in which Etihad has an equity stake.
"The route will be initiated using their Boeing 777-300ER aircraft through a lease agreement," Hogan says in the airline's statement. "The flights will be operated by Etihad Airways and its crew."
