Etihad Airways has announced plans to launch scheduled flights between Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, and Baku, the capital city of the Republic of Azerbaijan, effective March 2018.
The new route is being introduced to capitalise on the strong and growing demand for flights between the United Arab Emirates and Azerbaijan.
The service will be operated three times a week using a 136-seat Airbus A320, configured with 16 seats in business class and 120 in economy.
Azerbaijan introduced a visa waiver programme for UAE nationals in November 2015 and expanded it to other GCC nations in early 2016.
