A Strong Start
Etihad Airways’ Irish story started a decade and a half ago on 2nd July 2007 when the airline launched a direct service from Dublin Airport to its home in Abu Dhabi. In less than 3 years Etihad had expanded to 14 weekly flights from our capital.
Engrained in the Irish Culture
The airline made its presence felt with strong support for Irish culture including a memorable deal that saw a lengthy spell as sponsor of the GAA Championships. Equally, the airline has earned numerous accolades along the way including the Irish Travel Trade Award for “Best International Airline”.
A Gateway to Far Off Shores
Etihad’s extensive network offers access to hundreds of international destinations across the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia and North America. Etihad’s most popular destinations for Irish travellers beyond Abu Dhabi include Kochi and Mumbai (India), Sydney and Melbourne (Australia), Bangkok (Thailand), Male (Maldives), Manila (Philippines) and Victoria (Seychelles).
