Etihad Airways has announced its August 2025 traffic results, achieving a historic milestone by carrying more than 2 million passengers in a single month for the first time.
The airline welcomed 2.0 million guests during August, marking a 22 percent increase compared to the same month in 2024. Passenger load factor also rose to 91 percent, up from 89 percent last year, underlining strong demand and efficient capacity utilisation.
Year-to-date, Etihad transported 14.2 million passengers, an 18 percent increase year-on-year, with an average load factor of 88 percent.
Antonoaldo Neves, Chief Executive Officer of Etihad Airways, said, “August was a landmark month for Etihad as we carried more than 2 million passengers in a single month for the first time in our history. This record performance, combined with 22 percent year-on-year growth and a 91 percent load factor, reflects the trust travellers place in our people and the extraordinary service they deliver every day.”
Etihad’s operating fleet has now grown to 112 aircraft, supporting a network of 81 passenger destinations. August also marked the entry into service of the airline’s new A321LR, bringing wide-body levels of comfort to narrow-body operations in the region for the first time.
