Etihad Airways has reported a record set of first half financial results; with total revenue up 16% – year-on-year – and net profit ahead by 32%.
The Abu Dhabi-based carrier said after-tax profit, for the first six months of this year, amounted to AED 1.1bn, with revenue (including cargo business) reaching AED 13.5bn.
His Excellency Mohamed Ali Al Shorafa, Chairman of Etihad Airways, said: “With 27 new destinations launched or announced this year alone, Etihad is proud to help position Abu Dhabi as one of the most accessible and connected cities in the world. This growth not only strengthens point-to-point and stopover opportunities but also enhances Abu Dhabi’s role as a gateway for millions of global travellers.”
Customer satisfaction continued to improve, with gains recorded across airport services, customer experience, and digital platforms
“We are proud to deliver another record half-year for Etihad,” said Antonoaldo Neves, Chief Executive of Etihad Airways. “Our strong financial performance and continued passenger growth demonstrate the success of our strategy and the dedication of our people. We are expanding sustainably, investing in premium experiences, and bringing record numbers of visitors to Abu Dhabi through our growing network.
“We are already ahead of the growth levels we set in our strategy, we remain focused on execution, and are committed to expansion built on efficiency, service, and innovation. With new aircraft joining the fleet, new routes opening, and our premium offering flourishing, Etihad is setting new standards in aviation. None of this would be possible without the passion and professionalism of our employees, and I want to thank them for their outstanding contribution.”
