Etihad to fly to Chicago

The national airline of the United Arab Emirates, Etihad Airways, has officially confirmed that it will be launching new daily nonstop flights to Chicago-ORD from its Abu Dhabi hub effective September 2.

Etihad will fly the route using a state-of-the-art Airbus A340-500 carrying up to 240 passengers. Initially, the route will be flown 3 times a week but then will be increased to daily flights from October 1 onwards.

The new service will be the airline’s second route to the United States, which already flies to New York-JFK from the UAE capital.
