Etihad is also introducing a summer-themed amenity kit featuring items such as a waterproof backpack, a waterproof phone pouch and hydration-focused drinks. The kits will be offered to passengers on the inaugural flights of each seasonal route.
Â
Separate from the core summer programme, the carrier will also launch flights to Al Alamein in Egypt from 16 July 2026, operating twice weekly. Destinations such as Paris and Kabul will also see increased daily frequencies from 1 and 15 July, respectively.
Â
Etihad’s rapid expansion comes as the airline continues to rebuild capacity following disruption linked to the Iran war. CEO Antonoaldo Neves said the carrier expects to operate at around 8% above pre-war levels by mid-June.
