Flights will operate four days a week
Etihad Airways, the national airline of the UAE, touched down for the first time in Boston on 31 March 2024, marking the launch of regular services between Abu Dhabi and the US city.
The inaugural flight, EY147, was celebrated at Abu Dhabi Airport before take-off, and on arrival in Massachusetts, Etihad’s captains waved UAE and US flags from the cockpit to celebrate the start of the carrier’s fourth non-stop service to America. Boston joins Chicago, New York and Washington as Etihad's fourth destination in the US.
The new service operates four days week – Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday – using a state-of-the-art Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, featuring the airline's acclaimed Business Studios and Economy Smart seats.
With 28 seats in Business and 262 seats in Economy with entertainment systems, in-seat power, and in-flight Wi-Fi connectivity, passengers can expect a comfortable travel experience.
