Etihad Airways has announced a six-flights-a-week service between Abu Dhabi and Doha starting from June 18.
The airline will fly every day of the week except Tuesday on the route using Boeing B767-300 aircraft.
"We are delighted to start services to Doha next week," said Dr Sheikh Ahmed bin Saif Al Nahyan, chairman of Etihad Airways.
"Abu Dhabi and Doha are premier business cities in the region and rapidly developing into key leisure destinations too. The new service will drive growth in both sectors."
The aircraft, which will accommodate 196 guests with 10 seats in Diamond, 36 in Pearl and 150 in Coral zones, can also hold up to 12 tonnes of cargo with a full passenger load.
Outbound, Etihad flight EY705 will depart Abu Dhabi International Airport (AUH) at 21.30pm and arrive at Doha International Airport at 21.30pm local time. Return flights on EY706 depart Doha at 22.30 pm, arriving in Abu Dhabi at 00.30 am.
The new service links up two of the energy powerhouses in the region and provides further economic impetus to both development-focused cities.-TradeArabia News Service
