Air India presently operates five weekly flights to Abu Dhabi. This frequency has been increased to daily flights, the Abu Dhabi Airports Company (ADAC) said.The decision is to meet the increasing demand in flight services in the sector.


The Mumbai-Abu Dhabi route recorded a 17 percent increase in customer traffic in the first half of 2010, compared with the related period last year. The added services will raise Air India's total number of flights to Abu Dhabi to 14, linking the UAE capital with both Mumbai and Delhi.

Air India will operate the high-tech A321 aircraft which will leave from Abu Dhabi at 2.40 a.m., and will land in Mumbai at 6.55 a.m. It will proffer both business and economy class services, ADAC said.

Ahmed Al Haddabi, senior vice president of airports' operations at ADAC said stated that they were delighted to see that the airline partners are keen to expand their services to meet their passengers increasing demand.
