Etihad Airways, the national carrier and second-largest airline of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), will be suspending flights between Abu Dhabi and Dar es Salaam in Tanzania.
The airline responded to a question by The Citizen through its twitter account on June 19, saying: “As part of an ongoing review of network performance, Etihad Airways will suspend flights from Abu Dhabi to Dar es Salaam, effective October 1 2018.”
Etihad currently operates this route once a day, serviced by an Airbus A320 aircraft.
As of October 1, travellers from Dar es Salaam will be re-routed through Kenya Airways to Nairobi, and then connect through Etihad to Abu Dhabi.
The airline launched its first flights to Tanzania in December 2015, with Dar es Salaam being the airline’s third gateway into East Africa, along with Entebbe in Uganda and Nairobi in Kenya.
According to The Citizen, the network review is part of the company-wide initiatives taken to revive business following a second consecutive year of loss making.
Refunds are permitted as long as there are travel segments on/after October 1, which are impacted by this cancellation.
