"With our morning, afternoon and evening departures from Abu Dhabi and sensational value fares, our triple-daily Milan flights serve up perfect timings for guests travelling in both directions," said Arik De, Chief Revenue and Commercial Officer at Etihad Airways.
"This enhanced schedule gives travellers more options to explore Abu Dhabi and connect to our growing global network, while strengthening vital links between two dynamic cities."
With the new triple-daily service, Etihad will provide 12,600 weekly seats between Abu Dhabi and Milan, reflecting nearly a 115 percent increase in capacity compared to the previous year. The flight schedule is thoughtfully crafted to enhance convenience for business and leisure travellers.
Services from Etihad's contemporary fleet will be provided on Boeing 777-300 and Airbus A321LR aircraft. The A321LR, the newest addition to Etihad's fleet, delivers a premium boutique experience thanks to its cutting-edge cabin design and advanced comfort features. All passengers receive award-winning service, including complimentary Wi-Fi chat packages for Etihad Guest members, plus the choice to purchase complete Surf packages with unlimited data for the duration of their flight.
Etihad is launching a three-day sale from 27-29 January to celebrate the expansion, with special Economy return fares from Abu Dhabi to Milan. For travel between 01 June and 30 November 2025, fares start from AED 398 one-way as part of a return journey, available at etihad.com.
