British Airways will launch daily flights to Abu Dhabi next year, following a four-year hiatus.
Available to book now, the route will begin operating on April 20, 2024, serving the UAE’s capital on a year-round basis from London Heathrow.
The new flight will be operated by a Boeing 787-9 aircraft in summer 2024 and will boost connectivity to the UAE as it joins flights to neighbouring Dubai, which operate up to three-times daily from Heathrow.
“Abu Dhabi is a unique destination that is making a very welcome return to our network. With a blend of beach, city and desert, it has everything our customers are looking for in a Middle Eastern trip, and we look forward to welcoming them back on board as we grow our footprint in the UAE,” said Neil Chernoff, British Airways’ Director of Network and Alliances.
IndiGo, ranked as the seventh-largest airline globally in terms of daily departures, connects 32 international destinations, emphasising the growing mutual travel opportunities for Indians and international visitors. This dual strategy focuses on robust domestic and international network expansion. IndiGo’s domestic network boasts connectivity to an impressive 84 destinations across the country.
“We’re delighted to welcome British Airways back to Abu Dhabi International Airport, adding to the growing list of leading carriers set to use Terminal A as their operational base in Abu Dhabi. A luxurious new gateway to Abu Dhabi, Terminal A will open to the public from November 1st, offering state-of-the-art facilities for both passengers and airlines,” added Maureen Bannerman, Abu Dhabi Airports Chief Commercial Officer. As the UK’s national flag carrier, British Airways serves more than 190 destinations across more than 65 countries, including routes with its partnership airlines.
