This will be the only service between the UAE and the main gateway to Andalucía," said Robin Kamark, Chief Commercial Officer, Etihad Aviation Group.
"Together with Madrid and Barcelona, Malaga will be Etihad’s third destination in Spain, further boosting our successful operations to the Iberian Peninsula. The new flights will be operated by our next-generation 787 Dreamliners, ensuring we provide the best product and service to our customers heading on business or on holiday."
