ETIHAD INTRODUCES THE AIRBUS A380 ON ROUTE TO NEW YORK JUST DAYS BEFORE TANZANIA LAUNCH
(Posted 26th November 2015)
When on the 01st of December Etihad makes its maiden flight from Abu Dhabi to Dar es Salaam, closing a destination gap their closest competitors in the Gulf already serve multiple times a day, will travelers from Tanzania be in for not just a new kid on the aviation block but also news that the national airline of Abu Dhabi and the UAE is now flying their Airbus A380 to New York.
This aircraft type is now daily on the route to the big apple, offering the splendor of a First Class apartment in the sky, at the cool cost of 32.000 US Dollars one way between Abu Dhabi and JFK.
Few East Africans will be able to afford spending this sort of money on an airticket but the airlines’ highly acclaimed business class offers travel at much more competitive prices similar to what Etihad’s competitors charge.
The airline, after Nairobi, which it serves in code share with Kenya Airways, also comes to Entebbe, albeit not daily as initially thought and will from next Wednesday commence services to Tanzania’s commercial capital.
Happy Landings for that new destination for passengers, crews and aircraft.
