Etihad Airways adds 5 new destinations to its network in November

The new services further strengthen Abu Dhabi’s position as a hub and gateway to the UAE, supporting inbound tourism and trade while delivering nearly 45% of the UAE’s total aviation growth this year. The airline is now connecting Abu Dhabi to over 85 destinations. Since the end of last year, Etihad effectively grew its network by 31 destinations, an absolute record in the airline’s industry.

As Etihad continues to expand its network, the airline is adding thousands of new seats to and from Abu Dhabi, making it easier for travelers from Africa and Asia to experience the city’s cultural landmarks, beaches, luxury resorts, and year-round calendar of events.

The new routes from Abu Dhabi comprises the following frequencies:

Tunis (1 November, three weekly flights): Strengthening Etihad’s North African network and supporting growing demand for travel between the UAE and Tunisia.

Hanoi (2 November, six weekly flights): Linking Abu Dhabi directly to Vietnam’s capital for the first time, enhancing trade and tourism ties between the two nations.

Chiang Mai (3 November, four weekly flights): Opening Northern Thailand to travellers from the Middle East and Europe through Abu Dhabi.

Hong Kong (3 November, five weekly flights): Reconnecting Abu Dhabi with one of Asia’s premier business and leisure centres, alongside the relaunch of Etihad’s codeshare with Hong Kong Airlines for enhanced connectivity, in particular to Japan with an active code share to Fukuoka, Okinawa, Osaka-Kansai and Sapporo. Both airlines will also acknowledge their respective frequent flyer program.

Medina (11 November, five weekly flights). The route will increase to six by the end of the year.
