Etihad passenger traffic up more than a third year-on-year
Gulf carrier Etihad Airways had another strong month for passenger traffic in September.
The airline welcomed 1.6 million guests during the month, achieving a notable average passenger load factor of 88%.
Antonoaldo Neves, CEO of Etihad Airways, said: “Our passenger numbers in September saw significant growth compared to the same period last year, highlighting our continuing upwards momentum.”
“Year-to-date, Etihad has welcomed 13.6 million passengers, marking a substantial 35% increase from the previous year.”
The airline’s rolling 12-month passenger total is now 17.5 million, up from 10 million in 2022.
“Despite expanding our capacity compared to 2023, we maintained our strong passenger load factor of 87% year-to-date.”
The Etihad route map has grown to 76 destinations, up from 68 a year ago.
The airline announced two new routes Prague and Warsaw in September with more new routes coming.
“The route expansion is facilitated by our fleet growth year-on-year which is augmenting Abu Dhabi’s reputation as a global aviation connector,” Neves added.
