Etihad Airways welcomes 20 million passengers

Antonoaldo Neves, chief executive officer at Etihad Airways, said: “The last 12 months have seen Etihad flying high, breaking records and achieving new milestones at an astonishing rate. Etihad has now welcomed more than 20 million guests in the last year, for the first time in the airline's history. 

“We continue our upward trajectory as part of a broader growth story that has seen our annual passenger numbers more than double from 10 million to 20 million in just two and a half years. This sustained growth is driven by expanding demand, a dynamic global network, and a clear strategic focus.” He added, “We are the only airline in the region growing at this pace and we have no intention of slowing down. 2025 is proving to be our biggest year yet.”
