MEL to to get 2xdaily flights

[Platinum A332]

The first Australian destination where Etihad will fly double daily (Sydney at 11xwk).

Etihad: double daily Melbourne flights - Australian Business Traveller

"The new flight will depart Melbourne at 3.15pm as EY463, arriving into Abu Dhabi at 11.20pm; the return leg EY462 departs Abu Dhabi at 10.30am to reach Melbourne at 6.05am the next day"

It's a lot of time on the ground in MEL!

EK and SQ both have planes on the ground a similar length of time. It's the "traditional" time for European flights.

I like this because it means i should now be able to fly from Canberra via Mel instead of Sydney. I hate Sydney airport.

Looking forward to later this year or very early 2016 when MEL gets the A380
