Avianca, part of Grupo Abra, will operate the Barcelona–Abu Dhabi route on behalf of Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, using Boeing 787 aircraft. This operation marks Avianca’s first entry into the UAE market under a wet lease agreement, known in the aviation industry as ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, and Insurance), while Etihad will market the flights under its own airline code.
