A week ago, Etihad Airways promised a major announcement for today. The airline teased the reveal of ten new routes, accompanied by a teaser video featuring various hints, including an image of Taipei 101.
Now, the wait is over, and the new routes have been loaded into reservation systems. The routes are as follows:
- Abu Dhabi – Algiers, Algeria (4x weekly from November 7, 2025)
- Abu Dhabi – Atlanta (4x weekly from July 2, 2025)
- Abu Dhabi – Chiang Mai, Thailand (4x weekly from November 3, 2025)
- Abu Dhabi – Hong Kong (5x weekly from November 3, 2025)
- Abu Dhabi – Hanoi, Vietnam (5x weekly from November 3, 2025)
- Abu Dhabi – Krabi, Thailand (daily from October 9, 2025)
- Abu Dhabi – Medan, Indonesia (frequency unknown, starting October 2, 2025)
- Abu Dhabi – Taipei, Taiwan (daily from September 7, 2025)
- Abu Dhabi – Tunis, Tunisia (3x weekly from November 1, 2025)
- Abu Dhabi – Phnom Penh, Cambodia (4x weekly from October 3, 2025)
The Atlanta route will be served by an Airbus A350-1000, while Hong Kong and Taipei will be operated with Boeing 787-9 aircraft. All other routes will use the Airbus A321neo LR, featuring a three-class configuration: First class (2 lie-flat seats), business class (14 lie-flat seats), and economy class (144 seats). These 160-seat aircraft have not yet been delivered.
Additionally, Etihad announced a few months ago that flights to Warsaw, Prague, and El Dabaa (Egypt) will begin this summer.
