Etihad Airways carried more than 1.4 million passengers across its route network in April, latest monthly traffic figures for the Abu Dhabi airline show.
That represented a 39% growth rate on the corresponding month last year; while load factor – a key measurement metric for plane capacity – averaged 84% for the month.
“In April 2024 we experienced 39% year-on-year growth in customers, further underlining our positive growth trajectory and contributing to a 4% boost in load factor, despite a considerable increase in capacity against the same period in 2023,” said Antonoaldo Neves, CEO of Etihad Airways.
“Our year-to-date passenger figures, at 5.7 million, are 41% higher than at YTD April 2023.
“These figures come on the back of robust first-quarter 2024 financial results with Q1 earnings equivalent to our total net income for the entire financial year 2023, and underline our ongoing commitment to resilience, customer service, and efficiency.
“We continue to grow our network and our frequency to match customer demand, and in April we successfully reintroduced our much-loved A380 onto our New York route while announcing plans to add it to our flights to Paris from 1 November.”
