Etihad Airways says it will launch 10 new destinations from Abu Dhabi starting in 2025 as part of the airline’s rapid expansion program.
The new destinations include Algiers, Atlanta, Chiang Mai, Hanoi, Hong Kong, Krabi, Medan, Phnom Penh, Taipei and Tunis.
The addition of Atlanta makes Etihad Airways the first of the ‘Big Three’ Middle Eastern airlines to operate to the busiest airport in North America.
“This expansion reflects our commitment to listening to our valued guests,” said Antonoaldo Neves, Chief Executive Officer of Etihad Airways.
“We’ve carefully chosen cities that embody the experiences, adventures, and opportunities that matter to them. Whether seeking inspiring landscapes, vibrant cultural experiences, reuniting with family and friends, pursuing business growth, or educational journeys, our new routes will help make their travel dreams a reality.”
“This moment is not just about expanding our network; it’s about sharing Abu Dhabi with the world. With its endless sunshine, diverse cuisine, rich culture, exhilarating family theme parks, and safe, beautiful beaches, Abu Dhabi offers something for everyone. Our expanded network will make it easier than ever for guests to experience everything our home city has to offer.
“Launching ten new destinations in a single day underscores our unwavering commitment to growing our airline with a fantastic route network and world-class, customer-focused service. This incredible milestone would not have been possible without the extraordinary efforts of our team and the ongoing support of our guests.”
The ten routes announced today will complement Etihad’s previously revealed new destinations for 2025: Prague (June), Warsaw (June), Al Alamein (July), Dusseldorf (October) and Copenhagen (October).
