Abu Dhabi airline Etihad Airways will operate a daily scheduled flight between Al Ain and the Saudi city of Jeddah during the last 10 days of Ramadan, it announced on Tuesday.

The airline will operate the flights from May 14 – 23, to meet “increased demand during the busy religious travel period”, it said in a statement.

The flights will be operated by a two-class Airbus A320, Etihad said. It has not yet released the time schedule for the service.

The airline operated a similar service from Al Ain to Jeddah during the end of Ramadan last year.
