Etihad plans non-stop Singapore-Abu Dhabi service


Etihad Airways, the national carrier of the United Arab Emirates, will begin non-stop services to Singapore in September, the carrier said Tuesday.

With three flights a week, Singapore will be Etihad's fifth Asian destination after Bangkok, Manila, Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur, it said.

"The new service will cater for the growing demand for air travel between the UAE and Singapore for business and leisure travellers, which is growing year on year," said James Hogan, Etihad Airways' chief executive.
