The UAE’s national carrier Etihad Airways has announced the introduction of a route to Hyderabad in India later this year. The Abu Dhabi-based airline will launch a direct service four times a week from November 2009, which will become daily in at the start of 2010. "Etihad has made no secret of the fact that it wants to build up its Indian services," said James Hogan, Etihad Airways’ CEO. The airline will operate an Airbus A320 on the new Hyderabad route, carrying up to 140 passengers with 20 in business class and 120 in economy class. Currently, Etihad serves a total of seven Indian destinations - Mumbai, New Delhi, Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum), Kochi (Cochin) and Kozhikode (Calicut) in the southern Indian state of Kerala, as well as Chennai (Madras).
