Etihad Airways announced on the social media platform X that it will begin operating four daily nonstop flights between Abu Dhabi and Karachi starting October 1, increasing service to 28 flights per week.
Karachi serves as Pakistan’s economic hub and largest metropolitan area, making it one of the country’s most important air travel destinations. In 2023, over 1.8 million international travelers entered Pakistan, with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) serving as a major departure and arrival market, according to the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics. Etihad’s increased frequency reflects the consistent demand for business, family, and labor travel between the UAE and Pakistan.
According to Etihad Airways' official news release, the airline will operate these services using Airbus A320 aircraft configured with both Business and Economy Class, offering flexible and affordable travel options. The expanded frequency increases passenger choice and improves connectivity to Etihad’s global network through its Abu Dhabi hub.
