As the aviation industry continues to recover and adapt in the post-pandemic landscape, Etihad Airways’ consistent performance signals its resilience and commitment to providing high-quality services to its customers.
“In April 2024 we experienced 39 percent year-on-year growth in customers, further underlining our positive growth trajectory and contributing to a four percent boost in load factor, despite a considerable increase in capacity against the same period in 2023,” said Antonoaldo Neves, CEO of Etihad Airways.
“Our year-to-date (YTD) passenger figures at 5.7 million are 41 percent higher than at YTD April 2023.
“These figures come on the back of robust first-quarter 2024 financial results with Q1 earnings equivalent to our total net income for the entire financial year 2023, and underline our ongoing commitment to resilience, customer service, and efficiency.
“We continue to grow our network and our frequency to match customer demand, and in April we successfully reintroduced our much-loved A380 onto our New York route while announcing plans to add it to our flights to Paris from 1 November.”
