Etihad to suspend Dallas/Fort Worth service

Etihad Airways will suspend its Abu Dhabi-Dallas/Fort Worth route from March 25, 2018. The UAE carrier Thursday the route would become commercially unsustainable following American Airlines’ decision to terminate the codeshare agreement between them. The carrier hinted that further action could be taken to adjust its US services. American announced in July it would end codeshares with both Etihad and Qatar Airways. The last day of the Etihad codeshare operation will be March 24, 2018. Etihad said it had invested heavily in the DFW route since its launch in December 2014. The service commenced on a 3X-weekly basis and was upgraded to daily in Feb 2017. Etihad added that half of its DFW customers connected on US codeshare flights operated by American Airlines. <br/>
