Etihad Airways has announced the launch of direct flights to Yerevan as part of its continued network expansion strategy aimed at increasing point-to-point travel to Abu Dhabi.
The Armenian capital is among seven new destinations added to the airline’s growing route map, alongside Almaty, Baku, Bucharest, Medina, Tbilisi and Tashkent.
Flights to Yerevan are scheduled to go on sale in the coming days, with operations set to begin in March 2026. Yerevan will be served with 10 weekly flights.
The addition marks another step in Etihad’s broader plan to boost tourism and business travel to the UAE capital.
“This new route strengthens our goal of bringing more people directly to Abu Dhabi,” said Etihad CEO Antonoaldo Neves, highlighting the importance of linking with culturally rich and rapidly growing regions.
With this announcement, the number of new destinations unveiled by Etihad for 2025 and beyond has reached 29.
