Etihad Secures Traffic Rights For Beijing – Nagoya Sector

Posted 21/04/2011

United Arab Emirates (UAE) carrier Etihad Airways now has traffic rights between Beijing and Nagoya, an extension of its five times weekly flight into the Chinese capital from Abu Dhabi.  The new rights were introduced from April 1 and the airline hopes the additional traffic will boost this leg of the route. 

The airline carried an estimated 10,000 O&D passengers between Abu Dhabi and Beijing but less than 1,000 flew between Nagoya and UAE capital.  There is a sizeable demand on the regional route and in the past year around 110,000 people travelled on the flights of Air China and China Eastern Airlines.  However, Air China is currently the only carrier providing links with a daily Boeing 737-800 operated under an All Nippon Airways (ANA) codeshare.  Etihad will be boosting the frequency of the Abu Dhabi – Beijing route from July 1 to a daily schedule.
