Monday, 17 Mar, 2024 0

Etihad Airways saw passenger traffic swell by 84% year-on-year last month.

The UAE flag carrier handled more than 1.4 million passengers with its load factor at 89%.

Overall, combined passenger traffic numbers are up 40% for the year so far, compared to the same period in 2023.

Antonoaldo Neves, CEO of Etihad Airways, said: “February was a busy month; we added three new 787-9s, a move which is aligned to our network expansion strategy of adding new destinations.”

Last month the airline also announced two new routes beginning this year: to Antalya, Turkey and Jaipur, India.

The latrer represents Etihad’s 11th non-stop India flight.
