Etihad's Swiss route offers more choice for travellers

The new service launched on 1 June 2014, builds on Etihad Airways’ daily flights between Geneva and Abu Dhabi launched in June 2004. 

Etihad Airways president and chief executive officer, James Hogan, said: “This year we celebrate ten years of operation in Switzerland, which continues to be an increasingly important travel market for Etihad Airways and a significant trading partner with the UAE. 

“Our new Zurich daily service means Swiss business and leisure travellers have greater access to the UAE and important markets in the Gulf region, Middle East, Africa, Indian Sub Continent, Asia and Australia. 

“Etihad Airways’ presence in Switzerland contributes to a resilient aviation sector in Switzerland, bringing the benefits of competition and convenience to travellers,” Hogan said. 

Both Zurich and Geneva services are operated by an Airbus A330-300 aircraft with a total of 231 seats in a three class cabin configuration: Eight First Class, 32 Business Class and 191 Economy Class.
