Etihad Airways has announced a new route from Abu Dhabi to Osaka.
The new direct link will start flying – five times a week – from October 1.
It opens up another gateway for Irish passengers heading to Japan. Guests flying to Osaka will be able to fly easily from Dublin for easy one-stop connections via Abu Dhabi.
This new service complements Etihad’s existing route to Tokyo (Narita) with flexible options available for a multi-city booking. The new route is now live across all selling systems.
Etihad said: “Our new Osaka service will connect Abu Dhabi with the bustling Japanese city renowned for its famous Osaka Castle, vibrant neon signs, and mouth-watering street food. A perfect blend of natural beauty, cultural heritage, and modern architecture make Osaka a unique destination.”
