Etihad Airways has announced its strongest half-year results to date, posting record profits and passenger numbers in the first six months of 2025. The airline recorded a net profit of AED 1.1 billion (US$306 million), marking a 32% increase compared to the same period last year. The growth was fuelled by strong passenger demand, operational efficiencies, and higher yields across both passenger and cargo operations. Total revenue climbed 16% year-on-year, with passenger revenue up 16% and cargo revenue growing by 9%.
Etihad carried 10.2 million passengers in H1 2025, a 17% increase from last year, supported by a 14% rise in Available Seat Kilometres (ASK) and an improved load factor of 87%. In July, the airline surpassed 20 million passengers over the past 12 months, doubling its 2022 total.
The carrier’s operating fleet expanded beyond 100 aircraft, including the delivery of its sixth Airbus A350 in April and the return of a seventh A380 in May. July saw a record five aircraft delivered in a single month, including the airline’s first A321LR. Etihad also introduced its new A321LR product in April, offering wide-body comfort on narrow-body flights. The aircraft entered service in August with its inaugural route to Phuket.
