In a further sign that Etihad Airways is on the up, the airline will add 13 new destinations to its route network in 2025.
The 13 new destinations are Al Alamein, Algiers, Atlanta, Chiang Mai, Hanoi, Hong Kong, Krabi, Medan, Phnom Penh, Prague, Taipei, Tunis and Warsaw.
Full details on launch dates, frequency, and aircraft type for each new destination are below.
The expansion is made possible in part by the delivery of new A321LR aircraft. These planes will enter service over the summer and are expected to feature 14 lie-flat suites in Business Class.
In 2025, two additional Etihad A380s, currently in storage, will also return to service. By the summer, Etihad will have seven A380s operating, freeing up 787 aircraft to fly some of the new routes announced.
