Etihad Airways will expand its flying programme to Jeddah from February 1, increasing from a daily service to 12 services per week offering more options for their guests travelling from Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad and Peshawar to the Holy cities of Makkah and Medina through Jeddah.
James Hogan, Etihad Airways' Chief Executive Officer, said: "Saudi Arabia is a cornerstone market for Etihad and Jeddah has always been an important strategic destination for the airline. The demand for the Umrah flights has always been very strong and we expect this to continue growing in future." Amer Khan, Etihad Airways' Country Manager, said: "Increasing flights will better accommodate our guests from all across Pakistan to Jeddah from where there is a huge religious movement on an year-round basis".-PR
