Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, has opened a new sales office in Islamabad, the capital city of Pakistan, to further strengthen its presence in the country.

The airline has four sales offices in Pakistan, situated in Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar and Islamabad. An opening ceremony was held on November 1, 2010, to inaugurate the new sales office located in the Islamabad Stock Exchange building.

Daniel Barranger, Etihad Airways’ Vice President of Global Sales, said: “The launch of our new sales office in Islamabad will allow us to support our growing customer base in Pakistan.

“There is a growing demand for Etihad flights from Islamabad which has lead us to upgrade our office to offer state-of-the art facilities, providing our customers with everything to assist them in booking flights or holidays to any of our destinations across our expanding network.”
