“Demand for connecting cities within the UAE has steadily
grown, and customers have been requesting a direct connectivity between Abu
Dhabi and Dubai and between Dubai and Sir Bani Yas Island for some time
now. As a customer-driven airline, we
are glad to be the first to facilitate this connectivity, which we believe will
create a wide range of new options for the UAE’s tourism and business sectors,”
said Rajendran Vellapalath, Rotana Jet’s Commercial and Planning Director.
Passengers will travel on a 50-seat Embraer Jet aircraft,
which will also take Dubai-based visitors to Sir Bani Yas Island from Dubai
International Airport Terminal Two on the same days as the Abu Dhabi flights.
