Etihad adds summer flights to Nice

New seasonal flights are set to link Abu Dhabi with one of the most popular destinations on the French Riviera.

Etihad Airways will launch twice-weekly services to Nice, from June 15.

The flights will operate on Wednesdays and Sundays between Abu Dhabi and Nice Côte d'Azur Airport on a Boeing 787 aircraft, one of the most fuel efficient aircraft in the world.

Nice is the fifth summer route to be announced by Etihad for 2022 after Crete, Malaga, Santorini and Zanzibar, all set to launch in mid-June.

Situated on the southeastern coast of France, Nice is renowned for its famous waterfront.

The city was proclaimed a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2021.
