Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), is to offer more flights to India.

'I would like to pay tribute to both the UAE and Indian governments, particularly the Department of Transport of Abu Dhabi, for their enlightened vision in further opening up air links between these two great nations.'
Etihad currently operates flights from Abu Dhabi to the Indian cities of Mumbai, New Delhi, Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram.
