Etihad Connects Abu Dhabi To Manchester, Muscat

Etihad Airways will launch a daily service between Abu Dhabi and Manchester as well as between Abu Dhabi and Muscat from 26 March 2006. The new Muscat route will provide for greater business and leisure-travelling ties to develop and grow between the UAE and Oman, and the two neighbouring capitals in particularly. This new route will be Etihad's 26th destination in the Middle East and onwards to Asia and the Far East.

Operating on a daily basis, flight EY 707 will depart from Abu Dhabi at 9.30 pm and arrive Muscat at 10.00 pm. The return flight EY 708 will depart from Muscat at 11.30 pm arriving in Abu Dhabi at 12.30 am. Manchester will be Etihad's third UK destination after London's Heathrow and Gatwick airports.
