(MENAFN) Etihad Airways said that it plans to expand its flights network to reach Rome from Abu Dhabi in 'the next step in a burgeoning relationship with Italy', according to the Emirates 24/7.
The new service adds to Etihad Airways" daily flights to Milan and complements Alitalia's five-times-weekly service between Rome and Abu Dhabi.
Etihad Airways' President and Chief Executive Officer, James Hogan, said: "With our Rome and Milan services, and our existing codeshare relationship with Alitalia, Italy continues to grow as one of our most important strategic markets."
Hogan added: "We expect the relationship to develop further, with a process under way which we hope will conclude with Etihad Airways taking a minority shareholding in Alitalia."
