Etihad Airways is doubling down on its U.S. expansion by increasing its soon-to-launch service between Abu Dhabi and Atlanta. Originally planned as a four-times-weekly route beginning July 2, 2025, the airline will now operate daily flights starting November 1, 2025. This decision follows strong demand for its newest U.S. destination.
The service introduces Atlanta’s first-ever direct connection to the United Arab Emirates, creating a seamless travel option for business and leisure passengers. Additionally, the increased frequency allows smooth connections to major South Asian cities such as Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru, and Karachi.
Furthermore, passengers benefit from competitive fares, with Economy Class tickets starting at AED 1,925 and Business Class fares beginning at AED 10,010. Travelers can also take advantage of Abu Dhabi’s U.S. Customs and Border Protection Preclearance facility, which streamlines the arrival process in Atlanta. By clearing immigration before departure, passengers land as domestic travelers, avoiding lengthy entry procedures.
Atlanta’s role as a key business and transportation hub makes it a strategic addition to Etihad Airways’ growing network. The city blends modern attractions, sports venues, and vibrant nightlife with Southern charm and diverse cultural experiences. Beyond Atlanta, Georgia’s historic towns and scenic landscapes offer more exploration opportunities.
As Etihad Airways continues to expand its global network, this move reinforces its commitment to enhancing worldwide connectivity. With 13 new destinations added this year, the airline remains focused on delivering seamless and efficient travel experiences for its passengers.
