Etihad Airways is set to double its routes to the African continent over the next year, further committing to serving its guests. The airline has announced three new African routes in the past two months, adding more destinations and frequencies to its services.
Currently, Etihad serves four African destinations: Johannesburg, South Africa; Cairo, Egypt; Mahe, Seychelles; and Casablanca, Morocco. On 15 December, the airline will resume flights to Nairobi, Kenya, and next year will launch new routes to Tunis, Tunisia; Algiers, Algeria; and Al Alamein, Egypt.
“We are expanding our frequencies, including boosting both Johannesburg and Casablanca to daily services from next summer. We are growing sustainably and offering our customers across Africa the flights and frequencies that make sense to them and fit with our global network,” stated Arik De, Chief Revenue and Commercial Officer, Etihad.
Etihad also enhances connectivity through its codeshare and interline partnerships with several African airlines, including Airlink South Africa, Air Seychelles, Royal Air Maroc, and EgyptAir. These partnerships allow Etihad to offer more convenient travel options and seamless connections for guests travelling to and from Africa.
