The upgraded schedule includes more frequent routes to popular destinations, new destinations altogether, and better-timed departures for some of its most flown routes. The new network is positioned to support visitor growth and provide travelers with more convenient options.
Expanding frequency of popular routes
Etihad Airways began its overhauled network by adjusting departure times for several European and Asian destinations. The airline will be adjusting the timing of its flights to Schiphol Amsterdam Airport (AMS) which occurs seven times a week. This is set to enhance passenger convenience.
The airline also announced it would increase the frequency of routes to several large cities to offer travelers more choices and improve connectivity options. The airline is adding seven more routes per week to Chennai International Airport (MAA), bringing the number of flights per week to 21.
The airline is also adding seven more flights per week to both Velana International Airport (MLE) in the Maldives and Phuket International Airport (HKT). Etihad is now flying to MLE 14 times per week beginning in 2024 and 14 times per week to HKT starting on November 21.
