Etihad Airways has been treating residents of the UAE to some unique Japanese festivities as the airline prepares to launch flights to Tokyo, its second new route to the country.
The airline’s Japanese Cultural Week event is being held at the Heritage Village, Jumeirah Beach Residence – The Walk, in Dubai until Sunday 28 February. Festivities start at 5 pm each day.
Entry is free and the event features a wide range of attractions including live Japanese Taiko drummers, an authentic calligrapher, pop culture nail artist and complimentary Japanese sushi samples, desserts, Japanese Oolong tea and green tea refreshments.
The Etihad pavilion offers scenes similar to the street fashion events held in Tokyo district Harajuku which showcase eclectic fashion alongside luxurious boutiques full of international designers. Each day, visitors have the chance to win an Etihad flight to Tokyo.
Peter Baumgartner, Etihad Airways’ chief commercial officer, said: “Bringing a little taste of Japan to JBR is just one way that we can show Dubai residents the glorious treats on store for them in this amazing country.
“The launch of both the Tokyo and Nagoya routes this quarter demonstrates the developing cultural ties between the Middle East and the Far East, and with the launch of these direct routes we would expect to see existing partnerships grow even closer.”
The five flights a week direct service to Tokyo’s Narita airport commences on Saturday 27 March. Etihad started its four flights a week to Nagoya on 1 February.
