The airline welcomed 1.7 million guests during the month, up 21% compared to the same period last year, as Etihad's upward trajectory continued. The airline recorded a passenger load factor of 89% in April, a significant improvement from 84% in April 2024, while maintaining its expanded capacity and increased operating fleet size.

With almost 7 million guests flown in the first four months alone, we're building strong momentum toward another record-breaking year.
