Etihad Airways plans to return to Düsseldorf in the 2024/2025 winter flight schedule, as a spokesperson for Düsseldorf Airport confirmed to airliners.de. The Abu Dhabi-based airline will serve the route three times a week, on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. A Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner will be used.
The decision to offer the connection all year round marks a return by Etihad after a temporary interruption. In the current 2024 summer flight schedule, the airline had completely stopped its flights to Düsseldorf. The new flight schedules are already loaded up to the 2025/2026 winter flight schedule, which ensures continuity and planning security for travelers and business people on this route.
Etihad Airways is one of the leading airlines in the Middle East and serves a wide range of destinations worldwide. The resumption of year-round flights to Düsseldorf underlines the airline's confidence in demand on this route as well as its long-term strategy in Europe.
