The new route will connect Palma de Mallorca to Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates, according to the airline quoted by Publituris.

‘Etihad Airways is bringing the Mediterranean touch to its network this summer with the launch of seasonal flights to Palma de Mallorca, one of Europe's most emblematic island destinations and gateway to Ibiza and the Balearic Islands,’ the carrier said in a statement.

‘Palma de Mallorca is the perfect complement to our summer programme,’ says Antonoaldo Neves, CEO of Etihad Airways, stressing that ‘Mallorca has something for every traveller’.

The flights will be operated on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays, leaving Abu Dhabi at 2:55 am and arriving in Palma de Mallorca at 8:15 am, while in the opposite direction, departures from Palma de Mallorca are at 10:30 am, arriving in Abu Dhabi at 7 pm.
