The first outbound flight departed on time, while the first return flight arrived in Abu Dhabi with a delay of nearly two hours, landing at 23:48 local time. Commenting on the company's growth, Etihad Airways CEO Antonoaldo Neves said: "Today, Etihad Airways is flying more passengers to more destinations than ever before. We operate over 300 flights daily, with passenger numbers near historic highs. We are executing our most ambitious summer schedule ever."
