Briefing
Adds a three-times-weekly, summer-only Abu Dhabi–Palma service from 12 June 2026 using A321LRs, supporting Etihad’s ongoing network expansion after a month with over two million passengers and a record H1 net profit of AED 1.12bn.
Highlights the broader industry shift to long-range single-aisle aircraft for thin long-haul and leisure markets, following moves such as Air Canada’s A321XLR Montreal–Palma launch and carriers planning A321XLR deployments on transatlantic and leisure routes.
Strengthens Abu Dhabi’s leisure connectivity as Etihad layers seasonal leisure capacity onto its hub strategy and recent route additions, complementing the carrier’s recent seven-route expansion from Abu Dhabi.
