ETIHAD Airways is set

to enhance its current

In July, the additional

flights will operate on

Wednesdays, Thursdays and

Fridays with flight EY 601

departing JNB at 09h45 and

arriving in AUH at 20h15.

In August and September

the flights will operate on

Tuesdays, Thursdays and

The new flights will be

operated by a combination

Boeing 777 aircraft, offering

a total of 2 200 additional

seats in business class and

21 500 additional seats

in economy class over the

the route
