Almasalla, ATP News- ABU DHABI,(WAM) – Etihad Airways flight EY183 touched down at San Francisco International Airport last night, marking the start of its new nonstop daily service between Abu Dhabi and San Francisco, the airline’s fifth destination in the U.S.

Etihad Airways has said that launch is another example of the successful partnership with Jet Airways since the route is operated using a Jet Airways’ Boeing 777-300ER aircraft through a lease agreement. The flights will have a combination of Etihad Airways and Jet Airways cabin crew onboard.
