He added, "This new route not only brings the allure of Abu Dhabi and Dubai to the American Northeast but also signifies our commitment to delivering exceptional travel experiences and fostering global connections. The new route is timed to offer convenient links to our growing network for corporate business travellers and leisure guests connecting to destinations across the Middle East and our 11 routes across India."
"Massport is pleased to welcome Etihad Airways to Boston Logan International Airport with their new flight to Abu Dhabi," said Massport Interim CEO and Aviation Director Ed Freni.
"This route provides a key connection between Boston and the UAE, and New Englanders now have even more options when planning a trip to the Middle East and beyond."
