Oct 8, 2006 Etihad Airways Etihad Airways is gearing up for the introduction of a daily 14-hour service between Abu Dhabi and JFK T4 New York. The flights, which begin at the start of the winter season, feature the airline's new Airbus A340-500 and equally new and outstanding three-class layout which includes a delightful airborne lounge for Diamond Zone guests. Departure from Kennedy T4 is 2310 arriving 2125 the following day. You really do lose 24 hours. In the other direction a 1415 schedule means that passengers arrive 2125 the same day. The new service will compete with the already established Emirates Dubai operation which is going up to three daily rotations.
