Etihad Airways has inaugurated its first-ever service to Charlotte, marking a further expansion of its North American network.

The new route connects Charlotte Douglas International Airport with Abu Dhabi, providing passengers and cargo access to Etihad’s extensive global network, particularly across India and Asia.

The service is operated by the modern Airbus A350-1000, known for its fuel efficiency and advanced technology. The aircraft offers upgraded passenger experience features, including lie-flat Business Class seats with direct aisle access and enhanced Economy Class comfort with in-flight entertainment and connectivity.

This launch strengthens links between the southeastern United States and the Middle East, while supporting both travel demand and cargo connectivity in the region.
