Etihad Airways will kick off its 2025 summer schedule with an expanded list of holiday destinations, including a new seasonal service to Al Alamein, Egypt, and the return of flights to five European cities.

The new route to Al Alamein (DBB) launches on July 17, offering two weekly flights to Egypt’s northern coast. The Mediterranean destination is known for its scenic beaches and rich cultural heritage, providing UAE travellers with a short-haul summer escape.

In addition to the new destination, Etihad has resumed summer flights to 5 sought-after cities in France, Spain, Greece, and Turkey:

Nice (NCE), France: Gateway to the French Riviera and coastal destinations like Cannes and Monaco.

Malaga (AGP), Spain: Ideal for exploring Andalucía, from the beaches of Marbella to cities like Seville and Granada.

Santorini (JTR) and Mykonos (JMK), Greece: Greek island escapes known for white-washed buildings, sunsets, and seaside charm.

Antalya (AYT), Turkey: A favourite Mediterranean destination for sun-seekers, relaunched from 17 June.

To mark the launch of the summer schedule, Etihad gifted passengers on the first flights with limited-edition Summer Kits — part of a seasonal experience the airline is rolling out to enhance holiday travel.

The expanded network is expected to boost tourism and offer more travel flexibility for UAE residents seeking cooler, coastal destinations through direct, short-haul flights.

Etihad’s summer routes are available for booking through the airline’s website and authorised travel agents.
