Etihad Airways has unveiled plans to add four weekly
flights to its Abu Dhabi – New York route, effective 15 November
2022.
The additional flights mean that Etihad will operate a total of 11
weekly nonstop services to John F. Kennedy International Airport
(JFK).
The new flights will be operated with Boeing
787-9 aircraft, while existing daily services will continue on
Etihad’s new Airbus A350 aircraft, which has been deployed on the
New York route since June.
Etihad passengers travelling to the US will be
able to take advantage of Etihad’s US pre-clearance facility, the
only United States Customs and Border Protection facility in the
Middle East.

The service allows passengers bound for the United States to
process all immigration, customs and agriculture inspections in
Abu Dhabi before they board their flight, avoiding immigration and
queues on arrival in the US.
Alex Featherstone, Vice President Network Planning
& Alliances, said, “Etihad is enhancing its schedule this winter
to provide even more options for our guests across key business
and leisure destinations in our global network. Our New York
service continues to perform strongly, and having already
experienced record passenger demand this summer, Etihad is excited
to be investing further in this market by building on frequency
levels ahead of the peak winter travel period.”
With 11 flights per week to New York-JFK, and
daily services to Chicago and Washington, Etihad will offer a
total of 25 weekly services this winter between Abu Dhabi and the
United States, and over 50% more premium seats than in the
previous winter 2021 season.
