Etihad To Launch Low-cost Carrier with Air Arabia
The LCC move by Abu Dhabi-based Etihad follows a shift in focus from global partnerships to its home markets.

Abu Dhabi’s Etihad Airways plans to launch a new low-fare airline in partnership with Air Arabia called Air Arabia Abu Dhabi, the emirate’s airport authority said without mentioning a start date in a statement released Wednesday. The new carrier plans to base its operation at Abu Dhabi International Airport, offering connections to several now unserved destinations.
