Etihad introduces 4th flight to Karachi
Etihad Airways has announced a significant increase in flight frequencies to Karachi, Pakistan, a move that highlights the airline’s strong commitment to improving connectivity between the UAE and Pakistan. Starting from 01 October 2025, Etihad will operate four daily nonstop flights on the Abu Dhabi – Karachi route, boosting travel choices for both business and leisure travelers.
With 28 weekly flights between Abu Dhabi and Karachi, travelers can now enjoy greater flexibility and convenience. This expansion is part of Etihad’s broader strategy to enhance its global flight network, offering smoother connections to destinations in Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Africa.
More Flights, Better Connections
The newly added flight frequencies are designed with the traveler’s comfort and convenience in mind. Etihad has optimized departure and arrival times to allow for seamless transit through Abu Dhabi International Airport, one of the most advanced aviation hubs in the region. Whether you’re heading to Karachi for business meetings or planning a family reunion, the new schedule ensures that travel planning is easier and more efficient than ever.
This move will be welcomed by the large Pakistani expatriate community in the UAE, as well as international travelers looking for fast, reliable connections to Pakistan’s economic hub. Karachi, known for its vibrant culture, business opportunities, and coastal attractions, remains a top travel destination in South Asia.
Strengthening Air Links with Pakistan
This expansion brings the total number of Etihad flights to Pakistan to 60 weekly services, further strengthening the airline’s footprint in the region. In addition to Karachi, Etihad serves other major Pakistani cities, including Islamabad, Lahore, and Multan.
Adding to this momentum, Etihad will launch new nonstop flights to Peshawar on 29 September 2025, just days before the Karachi schedule upgrade. This shows a deliberate and focused effort by the airline to increase accessibility to Pakistan’s major urban centers.
These strategic moves support Etihad’s long-term vision of being a preferred carrier for travel between South Asia and the Middle East, and beyond.
Why This Matters for Travelers
More flights mean more choice, especially during busy travel seasons. With four daily departures, travelers flying between Abu Dhabi and Karachi can now choose flight times that best match their schedules. For frequent flyers and business travelers, this also means greater flexibility in managing itineraries and reducing layover durations.
From a customer experience standpoint, the new flights will help reduce booking congestion, offer better seat availability, and improve pricing competitiveness.
A Growing Global Network
Etihad continues to expand its international reach, and the enhanced Pakistan service is a crucial part of this strategy. Passengers from Karachi can now enjoy one-stop access to major global cities including London, Paris, New York, Toronto, Cairo, and Johannesburg.
