Etihad Summer Timetable: No BRU.

teach · Post by **teach** » 06 Mar 2005, 16:53

Etihad have published their summer timetable (March - October) on their website, and the rumored service to toronto via Brussels is nowhere to be seen...

It's been quiet on that rumor for a while now, so is it still planned?

Poor teach, now I fear for you too.

....

New Destinations are indeed indicated as follows:

.
And that are Dammam (DMM 3/7 days 2, 4, 6) and Riyadh (RUH - 3/7 days 2, 5 , 7) both in KSA (Al Mamlakah al Arabiyah as Suudiyah)

AUH-RUH (RUH/OERK)bis a flight of +- 800km (compare to BRU-CPH) Riyadh Airport, Saudi Arabia.
AUH-DMM (OED/OEDF) is +- 520km (just past a BRU-HAM) Dammam, Saudi Arabia.

And indeed, Summer schedules should be filed by now. Published is another thing.

How late is later? It was initially promised for the summer season. I hope it is not the Australian summer!

With all due respect, but what exactly was the point of your first post here?

AFAIK it has been postponed until (end of?) October.

Greets,

all very nice, but the website of Etihad doesn't mention brussels at all, not in destinations, not in shedule, not in news.

keep dreaming

The announcement in Travel Magazine is a paid advert, not a free publication.

Hopefully this is good news for BRU, EY has received permission from the Canadian government to begin selling tickets YYZ-AUH, while their license application is still being processed. Details can be found here:

Latest rumors are saying the new service could begin in June 05.

I am surprised to see that none of the anxious forum members noticed the Etihad Airways press release of April 7 2005, regarding the new Frankfurt service, which also contains the first official confirmation of the upcoming Brussels, Johannesburg and Toronto operations.

Wait and see.
It took some time to organise a new route. Maybe for the winterschedule

Didn't see that. Nice to see some kind of confirmation ...
