Gulf carrier Etihad Airways is touting continued strong performance after releasing its traffic figures for October 2024.
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.
As of October 2024, the airline’s rolling 12-month passenger total stands at 17.8 million, a 73% increase on the figure for the whole of 2022.
Etihad says that puts it on track to double passenger numbers in under two years.
“Our capacity continues to grow, and it is pleasing to see we maintained our robust passenger load factor, “Neves added.
The airline reintroduced its fifth A380 superjumbo last month.
