    Description
    Founded in 2003, Etihad Airways is one of the United Arab Emirates' two flag‑carrier airlines. It began operations on 5November2003 and is headquartered in KhalifaCity, AbuDhabi.

    According to the most recent data (July2025), the airline operates over 1000 flights each week to more than 120 passenger and cargo destinations across the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia and NorthAmerica.

    Etihad's fleet has grown rapidly; the airline's infobox notes a fleet size of 112 aircraft and a network of 120 destinations, and a May2025 traffic report highlighted that the operating fleet reached 100 aircraft with passenger load factors of 87%.

    Etihad is embarking on an ambitious Journey2030 strategy, which aims to double its fleet size and triple passenger numbers over the next six years.

    The strategy includes expanding its route network, investing in additional Airbus and Boeing aircraft and hiring thousands of new employees.

    In May2025 alone, the airline hired 1685 new staff members and announced plans to recruit a further 1500 employees by the end of 2025, as it prepares to double its workforce by 2030.

    Expansion and New Routes for 2025–2026
    Etihad's growth is not limited to fleet and staff. A July2025 press release announced seven new destinations that will join the network between late2025 and mid‑2026.

    The new routes will connect AbuDhabi to:
    Almaty (Kazakhstan) – Expected launch: March2026 – Notes: Part of wider Central Asian expansion.
    Baku (Azerbaijan) – Expected launch: March2026 – Notes: Adds connectivity to the Caucasus.
    Bucharest (Romania) – Expected launch: March2026 – Notes: Enhances Etihad's European network.
    Medina (SaudiArabia) – Expected launch: November2025 – Notes: Important spiritual destination; flights start sooner.
    Tbilisi (Georgia) – Expected launch: March2026 – Notes: Connects travellers to the Caucasus.
    Tashkent (Uzbekistan) – Expected launch: March2026 – Notes: Brings Etihad to Central Asia.
    Yerevan (Armenia) – Expected launch: March2026 – Notes: Expands point‑to‑point traffic to the Caucasus.

    The announcement noted that the airline had launched or commenced operations to 27 new routes in 2025 and that Etihad planned to add three more seasonal summer destinations in 2026—Krakow (Poland), Salalah (Oman) and Kazan (Russia)—during peak travel months.

    CEO AntonoaldoNeves emphasised that the goal is to "bring more people directly to AbuDhabi" and that the diverse destinations—ranging from the spiritual significance of Medina to the modern vibrancy of Baku—will stimulate tourism and trade in the UAE.
