Etihad Airways carried 2.1 million passengers in November 2025, reflecting a 28 percent increase compared to the same month last year and marking its highest monthly traffic figure of 2025.
The airline upheld strong operational performance, recording an 89 percent passenger load factor for November. Over the first eleven months of 2025, Etihad transported 20.2 million travellers—up 20 percent from the same period in 2024—while maintaining an average load factor of 88 percent.
Throughout November, Etihad further expanded its global network by launching new routes to Tunis, Hanoi, Chiang Mai, Hong Kong and Medina, helping boost passenger numbers and supporting rising inbound travel to Abu Dhabi.
By the end of the month, the airline’s fleet had grown to 124 aircraft, compared with 98 in November 2024, aided by the addition of four A321LRs. This significant fleet growth underscores Etihad’s ambitious expansion plans and continued investment.
Antonoaldo Neves, Chief Executive Officer of Etihad Airways, said, “These results demonstrate the hard work of our teams. We’ve systematically built out our network, invested in our product, and our expanded capacity is bringing more visitors to experience all that Abu Dhabi has to offer. What’s particularly encouraging is the consistency of our performance across the year. Our network continues to resonate with customers globally, and we’re maintaining high load factors while adding significant capacity. This operational strength positions us well heading into the final month of the year.”
