Etihad Airways carried 1.7 million passengers in January – 18% up on the same month last year – latest monthly travel figures for the Abu Dhabi airline show.
Passenger load factor – an important growth metric for airlines, showing how full planes are – amounted to 89% compared to 86% for January 2024.
Antonoaldo Neves, CEO of Etihad Airways, said: “We saw a strong traffic result for January, signalling continued upward momentum, with a particularly robust passenger load factor as guests continue to choose to fly with Etihad.
“Alongside these strong figures, I am delighted to note continued growing guest approval, with January at a record level for customer satisfaction.
“We also announced further increase in frequencies to our network, including plans to go triple-daily to Milan from November, 2025 and four-daily to Bangkok from February 2026.”
