Etihad Airways, the national airline of the UAE, will now fly to Dallas/Ft. Worth, making it the sixth destination in the US. The airline will start running three flights a week to the third largest city in Texas, known for its fortune 500 companies. It eventually hopes to launch a daily service.   

“The two-way connections offered by this service will benefit the oil and gas sector and technology sectors, as well as the 20 fortune 500 companies based in Dallas/Fort Worth and the 52 fortune 500 companies based in Texas," said James Hogan, the president and chief executive officer of Etihad Airways.

Dallas and the Ft. Worth area is the 17th largest US port trading with the UAE.

Etihad Airways has made several changes in their service over the past few months, including the following:

First class service and business class seating have both received major updates with a new dining menu. This new menu will have a pre-dessert course and a glass of high-end cognac. New interiors will also provide a new, plush feel to both cabins. Turndown service is a new amenity that will be given to both first and business class. Read more here.
