Etihad Airways has announced a new flight route to Malaga Airport (AGP) in Spain. The flight routes will run three times per week via the Moroccan capital, Rabat (RBA) from June 26 to September 13, 2020.
The new destination is Etihad’s third Spanish gateway, and the first with direct access to Andalusia, with Barcelona and Madrid currently available. The route will be operated by the three-class Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner which has eight private first class suites, 28 business class seats and 190 economy seats.
Introducing this new route during summer is said to be in response to high demand from UAE customers.
