Etihad Airways has announced an expansion of its services to Paris, starting January 15, 2025, with the introduction of double daily flights. This move includes the return of the airline’s iconic Airbus A380 on November 1, 2024, followed by the addition of the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner on the second daily flight in January 2025. The expanded service is designed to provide travelers with enhanced convenience and more options for both business and leisure travel.
Etihad’s double daily flights between Abu Dhabi and Paris will feature the airline’s renowned three-class service across First, Business, and Economy cabins, offering a premium experience for all passengers. The addition of these flights underscores Etihad’s commitment to driving tourism to Abu Dhabi, particularly targeting high-end travelers in the premium segment.
The return of the Airbus A380 to Paris on November 1 will allow passengers to enjoy exclusive inflight features like The Residence, the world’s only three-room suite in the sky, along with First Apartments and Business Studios. Economy passengers will also benefit from additional legroom and the excellent Etihad service.
From January 15, 2025, Etihad will operate the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner on its second daily flight to Paris. The Dreamliner will offer First, Business, and Economy cabins with advanced amenities for comfort, productivity, and relaxation.
Flexible Flight Schedule for Business and Leisure Travelers
The newly introduced flights are timed to cater to both business and leisure travelers. With morning and evening departures and arrivals, passengers can choose a schedule that best fits their needs. Morning arrivals in Paris allow tourists the convenience of early hotel check-ins and more time to explore the city, while evening arrivals are ideal for those finishing work or other commitments. Business travelers can benefit from a schedule that accommodates full working days at both ends of their journey.
The flexible flight options aim to strengthen the connection between Abu Dhabi and Paris, integrating the French capital with Etihad’s global network. These flights also provide seamless connections to destinations in the GCC, Asia, and beyond, positioning Abu Dhabi as a key international travel hub.
Arik De, Chief Revenue and Commercial Officer of Etihad Airways, expressed excitement about the expansion: “Paris is a city that epitomizes elegance and sophistication, and we are thrilled to offer two daily flights that provide our guests with a premium travel experience. The return of the A380 to Paris, followed by the addition of our three-class 787-9 Dreamliner, underscores our commitment to providing our customers with the very best in service, connectivity, and convenience.”
This increase in frequency is a direct response to the growing demand for travel between Abu Dhabi and Paris. It also reinforces Abu Dhabi’s position as a key gateway to global markets, contributing to the city’s economic growth and enhancing its connectivity with major international destinations.
Etihad’s expansion of services reflects its dedication to supporting Abu Dhabi’s strategic goals while offering travelers more choices and seamless connections to destinations across the globe. With this enhanced service, Etihad is expected to elevate the travel experience for those flying between Abu Dhabi and Paris, making it more convenient and enjoyable for all.
