Etihad unveils its 10 new routes for 2025: there's America, North Africa and lots of Far East (and lots of A321LRs)

The wait is over and just before noon on Monday, November 25. Etihad Airways has announced the ten new routes it will open during 2025, rising from 83 to 93 destinations worldwide.

A good portion of this 'boom' will be taken on the shoulders of the A321LRs that will join the Abu Dhabi carrier's fleet in the coming months and that will allow the opening of 'thin', i.e., 'thin' routes in terms of passenger traffic (this is why the A321-LR and -XLR were 'invented'), increasing the ability to penetrate certain markets.

Etihad makes an encore at Milan Malpensa: from December 15, there will be two daily flights to Abu Dhabi

Etihad will do so, at least initially, in the Far East and North African markets.

Starting Oct. 2, Etihad's A321LRs will connect three times a week (Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays) Abu Dhabi with Indonesia's second largest city, Medan. From Oct. 9 Will serve Krabi daily, a booming tourist resort on the west coast of Thailand (the one that 'looks' over the Indian Ocean.

From Nov. 3, they will fly every Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday to another Thai destination that is growing so much as Chiang Mai, a northern city surrounded by forests with a walled historic center and famous for its spectacular temples.

As of Feb. 1, 2025, Etihad's A380 will also fly to Singapore

The capital of Cambodia Phon Penh will be served from October 3 with 5 weekly frequencies always with A321LR. Finally, still remaining in the Far East, the long-range, single-aisle bireactor will be used on the Daily connection between Abu Dhabi and the Vietnamese capital Hanoi from Nov. 3.
