Etihad Airways launches Etihad Regional

Zurich: Etihad Airways launched a new brand, Etihad Regional, for travellers in Europe, last Thursday in Zurich, Switzerland.
Etihad announced that is was acquiring a 33.3 per cent equity in Switzerland’s Darwin Airlines, which will operate Etihad Regional, last year at the Dubai airshow.
Their code share with Etihad Airways started on January 17.
Etihad Regional offers year-round flights to 15 destinations in Europe using a fleet of 10 Saab 2000 turbotop aircraft.
By mid-2014, the number of destinations will increase to 34.
Etihad Regional’s network will include seven European gateways: Geneva, Amsterdam, Paris, Dusseldorf, Belgrade, Zurich (June 2014) and Rome (July 2014).
“Etihad Regional will provide a unique opportunity to strengthen vitally important regional networks and connect them to the rapidly expanding global network of Etihad Airways,” said James Hogan President and CEO of Etihad Airways.
