Etihad Airways is set to launch seven new international routes starting in November 2025, including key destinations like Medina and Baku. The airline aims to strengthen Abu Dhabi’s status as a global travel hub through this strategic expansion. The move comes as an opportunity after Wizz Air’s decision to exit Abu Dhabi, opening up new possibilities for Etihad to enhance its services and connectivity. The new routes will cover cities like Almaty, Bucharest, Tbilisi, Tashkent, and Yerevan, offering diverse travel options for passengers. These additions are part of Etihad’s strategy to increase traffic through Abu Dhabi, boosting tourism, culture, and commerce in the region.
