Flights to the  American west coast from Etihad’s hub in Abu Dhabi will begin June 1 next year, pending regulatory approval.

In a statement Etihad CEO James Hogan said: "We are delighted to add Los Angeles, a major US and global destination with a significant metropolitan population and growing economy, to the Etihad Airways' network in 2014."

Etihad will utilise a  237-seat Boeing 777-200LR aircraft for the daily round-trip flight .

Etihad’s recent codeshare with American Airlines will give it reach into the domestic American market. It already flies to New York JFK , Chicago, and Washington Dulles.
