Next week Etihad is announcing 10 new destinations. Been a few rumours around the traps that Perth could be returning. With the news that the Virgin codeshare is now coming to an end, I am somewhat skeptical that this might occur.

The promo image they have released is most certainly a WA beach however.

Couldn't they make it start in May?
 
Returning to PER would make a lot of sense and overdue. As would be ADL and BNE.
 
Another hint was one of the routes was a prior Etihad destination. They will be dropping further hints later this week to see if the public can guess any of them.

The two hints so far is the promo shot above which is clearly Broome/Kimberley, and a video they shot which resembles a WA beach.

Definitely a win for WA even if it’s a 787.
 

The hint video is out. I cannot make any Oz references but certainly can see some. The one prior EY destination as part of the 10 which was also hinted at, seems to be HKG.

Taipei (painting)
Hong Kong (book)
Stockholm (three crowns on mug)
Chinese City
Lanterns Painting- Da Nang
City of Kings sticker- Lima
Elbphilharmonie- Hamburg
Tunis (see Carthage on hoody)
