Etihad Airways announced yesterday that it has achieved a profit of 1.7 billion dirhams (approximately 463 million USD) during the first nine months of 2025, marking a 26% increase compared to the previous year, primarily driven by revenues from passenger and cargo sectors.
Passenger revenues rose by 20% over the nine-month period, reaching 18.2 billion dirhams, aided by an increase in operational capacity and an expansion of its destination network. Cargo revenues also saw an 8% rise. Overall revenues increased by 18% to 21.7 billion dirhams.
At the end of September, the airline’s operational fleet consisted of 115 aircraft, representing an increase of 19 planes year-on-year. The company also reported an improvement in passenger load factor to 88%.
The CEO of Etihad Airways, Antonio Nefes, emphasized that the airline will continue to focus on efficiency and performance. In September, Nefes told Reuters that Etihad, which is owned by ADQ with a total portfolio value of 225 billion USD, does not have plans for an IPO due to sufficient resources to “finance” its 20 billion USD growth plans over the next decade.
