Etihad boost Africa flights
Etihad Airways is significantly expanding its African network with new destinations and increased frequencies.
It includes doubling flights to Nairobi, Kenya, increasing to 14 weekly services starting 15 December 2025.
The announcement comes less than a year since the airline resumed flights to the Kenyan capital.
Nairobi is a prominent East African business hub and has the Nairobi National Park within its boundaries, housing cultural attractions including museums and art galleries.
It serves as a gateway to Kenya’s wildlife destinations.
Arik De, Etihad’s Chief Revenue and Commercial Officer, said: “We have been focusing on a holistic approach that enhances our presence by expanding our fleet, increasing frequencies, and forming key partnerships.”
“We’re encouraged by the positive early results and are pleased to announce the expansion of our Nairobi service to 14 weekly flights.”
The expansion will also see an increase of Seychelles flights to six a week in partnership with Air Seychelles.
Etihad is also introducing daily 787 Dreamliner services to Casablanca and Johannesburg.
“Together with Air Seychelles and our groundbreaking relationship with Ethiopian Airlines, these strategic partnerships form a key foundation as we add four new direct routes to Africa from Abu Dhabi this year.”
