Etihad poised to expand | The Australian
ABU Dhabi-based Etihad expects to establish its third route to Australia within two years, after the successful launch of flights to Sydney and Brisbane.
Chief executive James Hogan also expects the airline to start flying directly from Brisbane to Abu Dhabi within the next year.
"Over the next 12 to 24 months, we would expect to enter one more Australian city and it makes sense that that could be either Melbourne or Perth," Mr Hogan said during a visit to Sydney this week to launch an extra four flights a week to Sydney from October.
