Etihad Airways will launch direct flights from Prague to Abu Dhabi starting June 2, 2025, re-establishing a connection between the Czech capital and the capital of the United Arab Emirates after nearly eleven years. The flights will operate four times a week—on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays—using a Boeing B787-9 Dreamliner that accommodates 270 passengers.
Jiří Pos, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Václav Havel Airport Prague, commented: “We are very pleased that, after lengthy negotiations, we can now confirm the launch of this service by Etihad Airways. The Boeing B787-9 Dreamliner will land in Prague for the first time, and the frequency of four flights per week is a significant result of our negotiations. With this new connection, we are expanding our long-haul network and offering our passengers another important destination in the Middle East, with excellent connections to Asia, Africa, and Australia.”
Antonoaldo Neves, CEO of Etihad Airways, emphasized: “We are proud to introduce Prague as our newest destination, highlighting our commitment to expanding into new and exciting markets. This route will enhance our network and strengthen the relationship between the two countries by bringing more visitors to Abu Dhabi. This is a key part of our growth strategy to promote tourism and support the UAE’s vision.”
Abu Dhabi, the capital and largest city of the United Arab Emirates, is recognized as one of the safest cities in the world and offers numerous attractions. These include the impressive Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque with its 82 domes and Saadiyat Beach, known as the most beautiful beach in the country. Leisure and amusement park enthusiasts can enjoy attractions such as Ferrari World, Yas Water World, and SeaWorld Abu Dhabi.
