The flights will offer Etihad’s award-winning service and comfort across both Business and Economy Class cabins.

Arik De, Chief Revenue Officer, Etihad Airways, said: “With our convenient morning departure from Abu Dhabi, our second Bangkok flight has optimised timings for those UAE residents wishing to have a break in Thailand. Moreover, the return departure from Bangkok allows for those Thai residents to arrive in Abu Dhabi in the morning to have a head-start in exploring what the city has to offer in terms of business and pleasure. It further reaffirms our commitment to bringing more guests to enjoy Abu Dhabi.”

Bangkok is a world-renowned destination in its own right as well as the gateway to travel throughout Thailand and further across South East Asia for millions of visitors every year. The new frequency will make it even more convenient for people connecting to flights to and from Thailand through Etihad’s growing global route network.

Etihad Airways has just been rated third in the list of Top 20 Safest Airlines 2023, the highest-placed carrier in the Middle East.
