The airline will fly daily on the Abu Dhabi - Kolkata route providing a total of seven weekly nonstop services to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport (CCU).
The flights will be operated with an Airbus A320 aircraft, offering Etihad's award-winning service to guests in eight seats in Business Class and 150 in Economy.
