Etihad will increase frequency to twice daily between Abu Dhabi and New York-JFK starting in April 2023.

By operating twice daily on its well-liked New York route, Etihad Airways is making travel between the US and the UAE even more accessible. Beginning on April 24, 2023, the airline will operate twice daily, seven days a week, on the Abu Dhabi to New York route, offering a total of 14 weekly nonstop services to John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK).

The flights will be operated with both Airbus A350 and Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft, two of the most efficient in the world, with significantly less fuel burn and CO2 emissions than previous-generation twin-aisle aircraft.

The increased frequency gives customers going to the US access to connections beyond New York, to and from 47 destinations throughout the Americas, with Etihad’s codeshare partner — and New York’s Hometown Airline® — JetBlue. The news comes as Etihad unveils further growth in its global network with the relaunch of flights to Kolkata as well as offering travellers improved access to the Indian Subcontinent and GCC region.
