Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, invites guests to Abu Dhabi with its Global Sale, offering guests up to 26% off Economy fares across a wide range of destinations.

The sale, which runs until January 15, applies to travel between February 5 and September 30, 2026, the airline said.

The Global Sale is designed to make travel more accessible for guests planning their 2026 holidays, whether looking for an exciting holiday to the UAE’s bustling capital or a convenient connection onwards across Etihad’s expanding global network.

As Abu Dhabi continues to grow as a world-class tourism, culture, and lifestyle hub, Etihad plays a central role in bringing more visitors to experience the emirate.

Abu Dhabi is home to iconic attractions such as the new Natural History Museum, the Zayed National Museum, and the Louvre Abu Dhabi on Saadiyat Island, all complemented by Yas Island’s vibrant culinary, entertainment, and events scene.

Wide range of global destinations

The Global Sale covers a broad portfolio of routes, including long-haul and regional destinations. Among the highlights are flights to Charlotte, Krabi, Hong Kong, and Taipei.

Passengers booking through the sale still access the airline’s full Economy cabin offering, including in-flight dining.

Etihad enters 2026 on a strong operational footing. The UAE’s national carrier carried a record 22.4 million passengers in 2025, its highest annual total to date, supported by sustained demand for Abu Dhabi and a measured approach to capacity growth.

Traffic rose 21% from the previous year, while December alone set a new monthly record with 2.2 million passengers, up 28% year-on-year.

That momentum has been supported by the largest fleet expansion in the airline’s history. Etihad added 29 aircraft over the course of 2025, lifting its operating fleet to 127 aircraft. Network reach expanded in parallel, with destinations increasing from 94 to 110, strengthening direct connectivity for UAE travelers across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and select long-haul markets.
