It's time to plan your summer holiday as Etihad Airways has added some fun destinations to its June calendar.

Starting June 15, a seasonal twice-a-week service will link Abu Dhabi with the Greek island of Crete. Operated on an Airbus A320 aircraft, the flights will connect to the main city of Heraklion.

The airline will also start operations to Malaga, Santorini and Zanzibar from mid-June.

"Etihad Airways is delighted to provide travellers with more choice for their summer vacations," said Martin Drew, Senior Vice President Sales and Cargo.

"Crete is an ideal summer destination for travellers who are looking for a mix of beach and mountain adventures, and along with the hotspots of Malaga, Santorini and Zanzibar, makes for a perfect addition to Etihad’s summer network."
