September 6, 2024

Etihad Airways is set to expand its network with the launch of direct flights to Warsaw, Poland, and Prague, Czechia, marking the airline’s first routes to these vibrant European capitals.

Starting from June 2, 2025, travelers can enjoy four weekly flights to both cities, providing new, seamless travel options for both business and leisure passengers.

Operated by the modern Boeing 787 Dreamliner, the new routes promise the highest level of comfort with 28 Business Class and 262 Economy Class seats available on every flight. Antonoaldo Neves, Chief Executive Officer of Etihad Airways, expressed excitement about the expansion, stating, “We are proud to introduce Warsaw and Prague as our newest destinations, reflecting our commitment to expanding into new and exciting markets. These routes not only enrich our network but also offer a great opportunity to strengthen ties with these countries and attract more visitors to Abu Dhabi.”

With this strategic expansion, Etihad Airways aims to enhance its presence in Europe, providing travelers from Poland and Czechia with direct access to Abu Dhabi’s stunning attractions, from pristine beaches and rich cultural heritage to world-class entertainment. These routes also align with the UAE’s vision of fostering growth in tourism and business, further positioning Abu Dhabi as a key global hub.

The addition of Warsaw and Prague to Etihad’s network comes at a time when both Poland and Czechia are becoming significant sources of visitors to the UAE. The new routes will not only facilitate travel to Abu Dhabi but also offer seamless connections to key destinations across the Middle East, Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, and Australia, including popular cities such as Sydney, Mumbai, Bangkok, and Riyadh.

Antonoaldo Neves further added, “We see this as a key part of our growth strategy, helping to drive tourism and support the UAE’s vision for the future.” The airline’s continued expansion into new markets aligns with its goal of providing diverse and convenient travel options for its passengers while bolstering ties with other countries.

For travelers interested in exploring Warsaw, the dynamic capital of Poland offers a blend of historical and modern attractions. Visitors can immerse themselves in its UNESCO World Heritage-listed Old Town, a symbol of resilience, and explore its impressive palaces and contemporary architecture that offer a deep dive into Poland’s past and future. Meanwhile, Prague, with its fairy-tale charm, Gothic, Baroque, and Romanesque architecture, including the iconic Prague Castle and Charles Bridge, remains a haven for history buffs and culture enthusiasts alike.

Etihad Airways invites passengers to book their tickets for these new routes on Etihad.com or via the Etihad Airways mobile app. As a special offer, guests who book on Etihad.com can enjoy a complimentary stopover in Abu Dhabi, transforming one holiday into two with a free stay for up to two nights at a hotel of their choice in the vibrant UAE capital.
