Etihad Airways will launch direct flights between Abu Dhabi and Gothenburg on 17 December, as the Middle Eastern carrier continues to expand its European network.
The seasonal route will operate four times weekly until 21 March 2027, using Airbus A321LR aircraft fitted with three cabins: First Suites, Business and Economy.
The service will be the first direct air link between Gothenburg and the UAE.
Mats Johannesson, CEO of Swedavia Airports, which operates Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport, said the route will “significantly enhance” connectivity from West Sweden to the Middle East and Asia.
“Companies in West Sweden conduct business across Asia, and many of our travellers have relatives, friends, and family in the region. The new service will strengthen connectivity for the region, particularly to the Middle East, India, and Southeast Asia. This investment demonstrates strong confidence in the Swedish aviation market and in West Sweden as a region,” Johannesson said.
