Etihad Airways has moved its London Heathrow operations from Terminal Three to Terminal Four where its three daily flights to Abu Dhabi will now go from.

The Abu Dhabi-based carrier has also opened a new lounge for its premium customers situated opposite the gates the carrier will most commonly use for flight departures, WAM reported.

Peter Baumgartner, Etihad's chief commercial officer, said: "The new Etihad check-in facilities and lounge are among the best available at London Heathrow.

Passengers will now receive world-class service from the moment they enter the terminal through to their flight with Etihad to more than 55 destinations around the world. Etihad is committed to delivering the best airline experience in the world and we look forward to welcoming our customers to our new Heathrow home at Terminal Four."

Colin Matthews, chief executive of Heathrow, said: "We are delighted to see Etihad Airways settle in Terminal 4. We are investing £200 million at Terminal 4, rebuilding many parts of the terminal, providing passengers with a new, modern airport building that offers improved facilities and higher standards of service.
