Etihad Airways is expanding its flight options to Paris, planning to enhance the route to the French capital with four additional weekly flights using the Airbus A321LR aircraft. This model is a long-range version of the A321neo. The initiative is set to begin in February 2026, departing from Abu Dhabi Zayed International Airport to Paris-Charles de Gaulle. These new services, recorded as EY35/EY36, will join the existing flights operated by the airline's Airbus A380 and Boeing 787-9.
"With its most recent schedule update, Etihad Airways has added one additional A321LR destination to the type’s network, Paris Charles De Gaulle Airport (CDG)," shared the company, citing data from Cirium’s Diio Mi airline planning tool.
In total, Etihad will operate 18 weekly flights to Paris in February and March 2026. The block time for the journey from Abu Dhabi to Paris stands at 470 minutes for the A321LR, slightly shorter than with other aircraft types. This further development of Etihad's network is part of its strategic expansion plan for the A321LR fleet, which is set to touch over 15 destinations, including major European cities like Athens, Copenhagen, Düsseldorf, Milan, and Zurich, as well as African destinations like Algiers and Tunis starting in November.
