At the onset of 2024, Etihad Airways, the flagship carrier of the United Arab Emirates, proudly launched two groundbreaking routes. Starting on the first day of the new year, the airline began operating daily services directly from Abu Dhabi to both Kozhikode (CCJ) and Thiruvananthapuram (TRV) in India’s Kerala region.
