EY confirms Perth flights from July 15

[markis10]

Etihad has cranked up competition between the Middle East and Western Australia by confirming the launch of daily flights to Perth from July 15.


The service, long touted by the carrier, will bring its number of weekly flights between Abu Dhabi and Australia to 32. Three other Sydney-Abu Dhabi flights are operated by alliance partner Virgin Australia.


Perth will become Etihad’s fourth Australian gateway with the carrier operating a 262-seat A330-200 aircraft on the route with 22 Pearl business class seats and 240 in economy.

Re: Etihad To Start Flying Out Of Perth

Pretty good value for reward redemptions as well. Falls in a much cheaper band than the east coast if you can snare a cheap ticket over.
