Etihad Airways has reported strong growth in its March 2025 traffic statistics, with the airline flying 1.6 million passengers during the month. This represents a 14 per cent increase compared to March 2024, reflecting sustained demand and continued network expansion.
The national carrier of the United Arab Emirates also recorded a passenger load factor of 87 per cent in the first quarter of 2025, a slight increase from 86 per cent in the same period last year. Over the same time, the airline has expanded its operating fleet from 89 to 98 aircraft and increased the number of passenger destinations from 69 to 73.
The year-to-date passenger count stands at 5 million, up from 4.3 million in the first three months of 2024. Etihad’s current performance places it among the fastest-growing airlines globally, supported by network development and rising customer volumes.
Antonoaldo Neves, Chief Executive Officer of Etihad Airways, said: “Our guest numbers saw further strong growth, and across the 12 months to the end of March 2025, we have welcomed almost 20 million passengers.”
“In the past month alone, we have announced two new routes and increased flight frequencies, bringing the total number of new destinations scheduled for 2025 to 16.”
Neves also noted that customer experience remains a central focus: “I am very pleased to report we recorded our highest ever customer satisfaction scores in March, reflecting our continued commitment to delivering an exceptional travel experience.”
The airline’s expansion strategy appears to be yielding results, with growing passenger volumes and a rising satisfaction index. As it adds more routes throughout 2025, Etihad is expected to maintain momentum in key global markets, supported by ongoing fleet and service enhancements.
