Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, will celebrate its tenth anniversary in style this Sunday, November 10, with a commemorative aircraft fly-past along the Abu Dhabi Corniche.
The A340-500 aircraft will depart Abu Dhabi Airport at 5.10pm before flying along the Abu Dhabi city coastline and around the Corniche breakwater for 5.30pm.
The flight, which will be made by Chief Pilot Giorgio Evangelisti, will see the aircraft fly at 600 feet on its coastal route across some of Abu Dhabi’s key attractions.
A dhow parade and other water activities on the Corniche will be part of the special occasion on Sunday and will culminate in a spectacular fireworks display on the Corniche.
