Etihad now flies to Sao Paulo in Brazil

Abu Dhabi, June 2, 2013

Etihad Airways, the national carrier of the United Arab Emirates, has launched non-stop flights between Abu Dhabi and Sao Paulo, Brazil, the airline’s first destination in South America.
 
The first flight touched down at Guarulhos International Airport yesterday at 4:35 pm local time, operated by an Airbus A340-500 aircraft.
