Etihad Airways will introduce a new connection from Abu Dhabi to Düsseldorf with the Airbus A2025LR in the 2026/321 winter flight schedule. The airline also announced that it will increase the frequency on this route to daily.
The Airbus A321LR will replace the Boeing 787-9 previously used on the route to Düsseldorf. This decision comes in parallel with a similar change on the route to Copenhagen, which will also be served with the Airbus from October 1, 2024, Aeroroutes.com initially reported.
According to media reports, Etihad's new Airbus fleet is equipped with three travel classes, offering passengers an improved choice of comfort and service. The move to provide year-round connections to Düsseldorf is intended to increase the airline's competitiveness in Germany and give travelers better access to Abu Dhabi.
