Etihad’s recently launched US routes have been credited with helping the airline achieve its strongest operational performance to date.
The airline recorded almost 14.8 million passengers last year, a significant increase of 23% over 2013 levels.
Etihad introduced 10 additional destinations to its global route network in 2014, including Los Angeles in the first half of the year, and San Francisco and Dallas in the second half.
In addition, frequencies were increased on 23 existing routes across the world in 2014 and new codeshare agreements were launched with airlines across the world, including jetBlue.
James Hogan, president and CEO of Etihad Airways, said: "Our business model, which focuses on organic network growth, codeshare partnerships and minority equity investments in other airlines, continued to yield positive results in 2014 and surpassed our double-digit targets for passenger and cargo growth."
