The Abu Dhabi-based airline has opened its new office on Al Soor Street, in the Mirqab district.

Magdi Labib, Etihad Airways' Kuwait country manager, said: "The opening of our new Kuwait City sales office will enable Etihad to support our rapidly growing customer base.

"The modern and fully equipped facility provides our customers with everything to help them book flights or holidays and find out more about our expanding services around the world."

"There is growing demand for Etihad flights in Kuwait from both Kuwaiti nationals and the expatriate community. Furthermore, by operating a return flight very morning and evening Etihad has established itself as a favourite choice for the business traveller. Etihad Airways flies twice a day from Kuwait city to Abu Dhabi."
