Etihad Airways has announced an increase in flights to 5 destinations in its network, in response to growing demand for travel to, from and through Abu Dhabi.
The changes include turning Dhaka flights into a year-round service with 4 weekly flights, raising Krakow flights to 4 a week and increasing Brussels flights to 11 a week, as well as extending seasonal flights to Zanzibar and Palma de Mallorca, according to a post on the Etihad Airways website.
The airline adjusted its schedule between Abu Dhabi and Dhaka, which launched on 26 June with a fully booked inaugural flight, to become a regular year-round service with 4 weekly flights on a Boeing 777 with 28 Business Class seats and 374 Economy Class seats.
The move aims to serve the Bangladeshi community living in the UAE, as well as supporting cargo traffic, strengthening trade between the UAE and Bangladesh.
Etihad Airways extended its seasonal flights between Abu Dhabi and Zanzibar until 31 March 2027, after they had been scheduled to end in September, amid growing demand for the Indian Ocean island.
The airline also extended its seasonal flights between Abu Dhabi and Palma de Mallorca until 18 October 2026, on an Airbus A321LR, allowing travelers to use the service for a longer period of the year.
Etihad Airways is raising its flights between Abu Dhabi and Krakow to 4 a week from 27 July 2026, up from 3, in response to demand for travel to southern Poland, with the seasonal flights operated by Airbus A321LR aircraft.
The airline is also increasing its flights between Abu Dhabi and Brussels from 7 to 11 a week from 15 December, adding 4 weekly flights on an Airbus A321LR featuring First, Business and Economy Class.
Arik De, Chief Revenue and Commercial Officer at Etihad Airways, said demand for the airline's flights has exceeded expectations in several markets, including Brussels, Dhaka, Krakow, Zanzibar and Palma, adding that the additional flights and extended seasonal services help bring more visitors to Abu Dhabi and strengthen connectivity across the airline's global network.
The changes are part of the continued growth of Etihad Airways' network, adding capacity and destinations in response to growing demand for travel to, from and through Abu Dhabi. Tickets are now available to book through etihad.com.
