Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, is further expanding its global network with the launch of three exciting new routes: Kazan, Russia; Krakow, Poland; and Salalah, Oman. These additions offer travellers even more opportunities to explore dynamic destinations across Europe, the Middle East, and Central Asia.

Starting 4 December 2025, Etihad will introduce seasonal flights to Kazan, a vibrant city on the banks of the Volga River known for its unique blend of Tatar and Russian heritage, cutting-edge tech scene, and world-class sporting venues. The new service will connect Abu Dhabi directly to one of Russia’s fastest-growing hubs, opening doors for both business and leisure travellers.

From 21 May 2026, Etihad will launch flights to Salalah, Oman, the Arabian Peninsula’s summer oasis. During the Khareef monsoon, Salalah transforms into a lush, green landscape with misty mountains, waterfalls, and cool coastal breezes—making it an ideal escape for families across the Gulf and a hidden gem for visitors from Europe and Asia seeking a refreshing new destination.
