Etihad Airways Announces Flights To Eight New Destinations This Summer

Etihad Airways, the national airline of the UAE, is expanding its network with the launch of flights to eight new destinations this June. This expansion brings the total number of routes operated by Etihad this summer to 76.

Antonoaldo Neves, Chief Executive Officer at Etihad, stated, "It is an exciting month for Etihad as we deliver on our plans to expand our network with eight additional locations. We are launching flights to three important sites – Bali, Jaipur and Al Qassim - which we can see from our forward-bookings are already proving popular with our guests."

He added, "At the same time, we’ve commenced operations to new seasonal destinations and returned to popular summer hotspots. We’re looking forward to welcoming our guests on board this summer and conveniently connecting more people to more places around the world."

This Eid holiday, Etihad began operating directly to summer destinations including Nice on the French Riviera and Antalya on the Turkish Riviera. The airline also resumed services to the Greek islands of Mykonos and Santorini. Earlier in June, Etihad relaunched its services to Málaga, a popular Spanish holiday resort.

This week, Etihad launched services directly to Jaipur, known as the pink city and a major tourist hotspot in Rajasthan, India. This marks Etihad’s 11th gateway into India, reinforcing its commitment to the Indian market through increased connectivity and convenience.

On Monday 24th June, Etihad will launch a new service to Al Qassim. This marks the fourth destination for Etihad in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Al Qassim is known for its rich culture, lively markets, and date palm groves.

The following day, 25th June, Etihad will launch its first flight to Bali, Indonesia. This route offers a direct gateway for visitors from the UAE and convenient connections from Europe, North America, and the GCC. Etihad will operate flights to Bali four times a week.
