en.Wedoany.com Reported - Etihad Airways, based in the United Arab Emirates, has announced that it will double the number of flights from Abu Dhabi to Chicago in the United States to two daily services starting June 15, and upgrade its newly launched Abu Dhabi to Charlotte route from four flights per week to a daily service.

Arik De, Chief Revenue and Commercial Officer of Etihad Airways, stated: "Chicago has always been a cornerstone of our US network. Achieving two daily flights allows us to offer greater flexibility to our passengers while deepening connections through Abu Dhabi." The airline added that the expanded flight schedule will make it more convenient for travelers to transfer via Abu Dhabi to destinations in India, including Ahmedabad, Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru, as well as to cities such as Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, and Manila.

The Charlotte route, launched in March 2026, is being upgraded to a daily service less than three months after its inauguration. Arik De commented on this: "We thank the people of Charlotte for their strong support since the route was introduced. The rapid upgrade to a daily service clearly shows that this route is quickly gaining market acceptance." The airline noted that this expansion is driven by both direct travel demand and connecting traffic demand.

All flights on both routes are operated by Boeing 787-9 aircraft, configured with 32 business class seats and 271 economy class seats.
