19.10.2011 Aviation Space
Etihad Airways, the national airline of the UAE, announced it would soon begin flights to Tripoli, the Libyan capital.
Tripoli will become the 5th North African destination for the carrier.
James Hogan, Chief Executive Officer of Etihad Airways, said the airline was planning 3 flights a week to Tripoli.
“As soon as the NATO no-fly zone is lifted, the airport is declared safe and all appropriate infrastructure is in place we will be able to begin services,” he said.
The return flights, to be operated by an Airbus A330-200 with 22 Peal Business Class and 240 Coral Economy seats, should be on sale within weeks.
Hogan said the proposed schedule would allow maximum connectivity over Abu Dhabi for flights from North and South Asia and the Indian Subcontinent as well as serving strong point to point traffic.
The new services would further strengthen links with Tripoli as the UAE was among the first to recognize the new government of Libya and to provide political, military and humanitarian support for the country.
