Etihad Airways announced a new direct route from Charlotte, North Carolina, to Abu Dhabi, set to launch on May 4, 2026. This marks the first direct connection between the two cities, offering travelers a 13-hour and 45-minute flight. Previously, travelers had to connect through other airports, which added significant time. The route will enhance travel options to Abu Dhabi and beyond, allowing connections to major destinations in Etihad's network. Tickets are on sale, with competitive prices for economy and business class as well.
"Charlotte represents a strategic addition to our U.S. network, unlocking direct access to one of the country's most dynamic and fast-growing regions," Etihad CEO Antonoaldo Neves said.
The route will operate on Etihad's Boeing 787-9, which features a variety of amenities throughout the flight such as television, Wi-Fi, outlets, and USB charging.
