Gulf carrier Etihad Airways is expanding its global network further with the launch of flights to Peshawar, Pakistan.

The route starts on 29 September 2025.

The new route will connect Etihad hub Zayed International Airport, Abu Dhabi (AUH) with Bacha Khan International Airport (PEW) in Peshawar, offering easy connections to Etihad’s global flight network.

Peshawar joins Karachi, Islamabad and Lahore as Etihad’s fourth nonstop route to Pakistan.

Etihad will operate the route on Airbus A320 family aircraft, featuring eight seats in Business Class and 150 in Economy.

Initially operating five times a week, it increases to daily flights beginning on 22 November 2025.

Antonoaldo Neves, Chief Executive Officer of Etihad Airways said: “We are thrilled to further expand our presence in Pakistan with Peshawar. This new route reflects our commitment to providing vital connectivity between Pakistan and the Gulf, Africa, Europe, and North America.”

Additionally, Etihad is boosting our frequency to Karachi to 17 flights a week from 1 October.

This expansion follows the recent addition of Addis Ababa to Etihad’s network and marks the airline’s sixteenth new destination in 2025. Alongside Peshawar, Etihad has announced new routes to Prague, Warsaw, Algiers, Tunis, and Atlanta.
