This new schedule kicks off with the return of the Airbus A380 on November 1st, 2024, followed by the addition of the sleek Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner for the second daily flight from January 2025.
The double daily flights are designed to boost tourism to Abu Dhabi, especially for those seeking a premium travel experience.
