Etihad increases flights to x2 daily to Chicago, daily to Charlotte

Etihad is expanding its services further in the United States with an increase to two daily flights to Chicago, and daily to Charlotte

The new second daily service between Abu Dhabi and Chicago O’Hare will start on June 15. It will open a new departure later in the morning – around 10AM - after the current flights which depart before 3AM. EY11 will depart at 1000H and arrive at Chicago at 1540H. The return flight EY12 will depart Chicago at 2110H before arriving back at Abu Dhabi at 1940H the following day.

With the double-daily services to Chicago, customers can connect to high-demand destinations including 11 cities across India such as Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad and Mumbai, and Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, and Manila in Southeast Asia.

In a statement, Etihad’s Chief Revenue and Commercial Officer said: “Chicago continues to be a cornerstone of our U.S. network. Moving to double-daily flights reflects the sustained performance of the route and enables us to offer guests greater flexibility while deepening connectivity through Abu Dhabi, strengthening links to key markets across India and Asia-Pacific.”

Following the launch of its new route to Charlotte in March, Etihad will increase its flights on the route from its current four-times weekly schedule to daily during the summer from June 15 to September 8.

According to Etihad, the additional flights between Abu Dhabi and Charlotte is one of the fastest route expansions within its network. The expanded schedule will see the use of the airline’s Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft with 303 seats -32 Business and 271 Economy.

Regarding the services to Charlotte, De added: “We are grateful to the people of Charlotte for the strong support they have shown since launch. Scaling to daily service so rapidly after launching is a clear signal of how quickly the route is gaining traction and the role it can play in our U.S. network.”
