Etihad Airways has announced the launch of direct flights between Abu Dhabi in the UAE and Luxembourg from 29 October 2026, with 3 flights a week, becoming the only airline operating direct flights between the two cities.
A press release published on the Etihad Airways website explained that this destination is a new addition to the airline's European network and provides a direct air link between Abu Dhabi and one of Europe's vital hubs, meeting growing demand from travellers from Luxembourg and the Benelux region, as well as France and Germany.
The flights will be operated with the Airbus A321LR, which offers an integrated three-class travel experience, including First Class suites, Business Class seats that convert into flat beds with direct aisle access, and new-generation Economy seats with improved legroom.
Antonoaldo Neves, CEO of Etihad Airways, explained that launching this route became possible thanks to the introduction of the A321LR into the fleet, adding that it allows the airline to reach new markets while maintaining the level of service for which Etihad Airways is known.
He said these flights will help boost business and leisure travel and support economic and cultural ties between the UAE and Europe, while providing access to Etihad's global network via Zayed International Airport in Abu Dhabi.
