Etihad Airways has officially landed in Ethiopia! 🇦🇪✈️🇪🇹
The UAE’s national carrier has launched daily flights between Abu Dhabi and Addis Ababa, marking its entry into Ethiopia and the start of a powerful partnership with Ethiopian Airlines.

The inaugural flights operated at full capacity, signalling strong travel demand between the two capitals.
This move not only expands Etihad’s network in Africa but also strengthens air connectivity between the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.

🌍 Here’s what’s changing:

Daily Flights: Connecting Zayed International (AUH) and Addis Ababa Bole International (ADD).

Joint Venture with Ethiopian Airlines: Both airlines now operate a combined twice-daily service.

Expanded Access:
✈️ Etihad passengers → 55+ African destinations via Addis Ababa
🌏 Ethiopian passengers → 20+ destinations across Asia, Australia & the Middle East through Abu Dhabi

Etihad CEO Antonoaldo Neves called the deal “a bridge between two regions with expanding connections and growing economic ties.”

🛫 Etihad’s Africa Growth Plan:

Doubling Nairobi flights (14 weekly by December)

Boosting Casablanca & Johannesburg routes

New flights to Tunis & Algiers

Seasonal return to Zanzibar (June 2026)

Addis Ababa — home to the African Union and key international organisations — is fast becoming a strategic gateway for trade, culture, and tourism.

This route marks Etihad’s 10th new destination of 2025, with 20 more planned by 2026 — a clear step in Abu Dhabi’s ambition to be a leading global aviation hub. 🌐
