Etihad Airways has announced new direct flights from Abu Dhabi to Warsaw, Poland and Prague, Czechia with four weekly flights to both destinations beginning 2 June 2025.

The new routes are part of the airline’s growth strategy to diversify its European network and provide business and leisure travellers with convenient access to the vibrant European capitals. It also marks the first time that the national airline of the UAE has flown directly to these countries.

Both routes will be operated by Etihad’s modern Boeing 787 Dreamliner, ensuring the highest level of comfort with 28 Business Class and 262 Economy Class seats available on each flight.

“We are proud to introduce Warsaw and Prague as our newest destinations, reflecting our commitment to expanding into new and exciting markets,” Etihad Airways CEO, Antonoaldo Neves, said.

“These routes not only enrich our network but also offer a great opportunity to strengthen ties with these countries and attract more visitors to Abu Dhabi. We see this as a key part of our growth strategy, helping to drive tourism and support the UAE’s vision for the future.”

Both Poland and Czechia have been growing sources of visitors to the UAE and the introduction of these direct flights is set to enhance travel options by offering travellers a new and convenient way to experience Abu Dhabi’s stunning attractions, from its beautiful beaches to its rich cultural heritage and world-class entertainment.

As a key global hub, Abu Dhabi provides seamless connectivity to Etihad’s extensive network, with these new flights scheduled to connect seamlessly to key destinations across the Middle East, Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, and Australia.
