The airline welcomed 1.6 million guests during the month, and an average passenger load factor of 87%.

Antonoaldo Neves, CEO of Etihad Airways, said: “Our passenger numbers in October saw significant growth compared to the same period last year, highlighting our continuing upwards momentum. “

Year-to-date, Etihad has welcomed more than 15 million passengers, which is up by a third on last year.
