Etihad Airways is set to launch seven new international routes, including key destinations such as Medina and Baku, starting November 2025. This strategic expansion aims to boost Abu Dhabi’s status as a global travel hub. The move comes in the wake of Wizz Air’s exit from Abu Dhabi, presenting opportunities for Etihad to enhance its market presence. The new routes will connect cities like Almaty, Baku, Bucharest, Medina, Tbilisi, Tashkent, and Yerevan, enriching Abu Dhabi’s connectivity. These additions are part of Etihad’s goal to increase travel through Abu Dhabi and stimulate tourism and trade in the region.
