Etihad Airways takes part in Indian Aviation Show in Hyderabad

Abu Dhabi: Etihad Airways is supporting India Aviation 2016 this week by proudly showcasing two of its newest aircraft - a Boeing 787 passenger jet and Boeing 777 freighter - at the country's premier civil aviation exhibition and air show being held in Hyderabad.

The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, one of five in the airline's fleet, will be joined by a freighter on static display during the event attended by key government and aviation industry stakeholders from India and around the world. The five-day show at Begumpet Airport in southern India runs from March 16 to 20.

Organised by India's Ministry of Civil Aviation and Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), the event provides Etihad Airways with another platform to engage with policy makers, business leaders, aviation experts and others across the aviation industry.

India is one of Etihad Airways' key markets with 175 scheduled passenger flights each week being operated across 11 cities from the airline's Abu Dhabi hub. With strategic Indian partner Jet Airways, Etihad Airways has a combined 254 weekly flights between Abu Dhabi and 15 cities across India. Together, both carriers are the largest international operator of scheduled flights to and from India, with a 20 per cent market share.
