Etihad Airways llega al Aeropuerto de Melbourne
Victorians are yet again spoiled with the addition of new international flights that allow them to travel direct from Melbourne Airport to their chosen destination. Daily non-stop Melbourne - Abu Dhabi services commenced 30-Mar-09 further connecting one of Victoria’s fastest growing export markets to Melbourne.
Melbourne Airport’s Airline Business Manager Carl Jones said, “22% of our total passenger traffic is to and from European destinations. The importance of these new flights to Victoria cannot be understated – it is a major win for our state.”
“Etihad’s services to Abu Dhabi and beyond will provide some of the best direct access to European markets such as Dublin, Geneva and Munich. Moves such as these are enhancing the strong business and tourism links between Victoria and the United Arab Emirates.”
The new services will provide greater airline competition for Victorian travellers with direct flights to Abu Dhabi and onwards to 50 or more destinations worldwide in North America, Europe, Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
