Over 1.4 million passengers will depart from Abu Dhabi International Airport, including 330,000 local joiners, with more than 1,100 weekly network-wide departures.

Mohammad Al Bulooki, chief operating officer, Etihad Aviation Group, said: “As travel rebounds from the impact of the global pandemic, Etihad has witnessed a vast increase in bookings over recent weeks. With summer holidays upon us and to manage the increase in passenger numbers, Etihad has bolstered operations both locally and across our global network to ensure guests enjoy a seamless airport and flight experience.”

The carrier reminded guests to check-in online, use the Verified to Fly service to submit any Covid-related travel documents for prior approval, and arrive at the airport early.

Earlier this month, the carrier said that it is launching five seasonal routes for summer that will connect Abu Dhabi to summer hotspots across Europe and the Indian Ocean.
