This achievement is underpinned by strong growth in 2025, highlighted by an over 20% year-on-year increase in daily flights, positioning Etihad among the fastest-growing full-service airlines globally.
It reflects the airline’s strongest performance to date, driven by operational excellence, sustained passenger demand and continued network expansion.
“We are expanding the destinations we serve, the fleet we operate, and our talented workforce, all towards our goal of making Etihad the airline everyone wants to fly,” said Captain Majed Al Marzouqi, Chief Operations and Guest Officer at Etihad Airways.
“Year-on-year growth across all key metrics reflects the strength of our network and Abu Dhabi’s growing position as a global aviation hub.
“Our progress is efficient, sustainable and purposeful, driven by the dedication of our people and the continued trust of our guests.”
The airline has launched or announced 31 new destinations in 2025, including Medan (Sumatra), Phnom Penh (Cambodia), Addis Ababa (Ethiopia) and Krabi (Thailand), bringing its global network to nearly 90 destinations.
“True to the meaning of our name, Etihad, which means union, we are committed to bringing people and possibilities closer together through seamless connectivity and world-class service,” he added.
