Etihad Airways reported a near 50% jump in net profit to $698 million last year, the carrier said on Tuesday, as increased capacity supported strong demand across markets and lifted its load factor.
“We’ve been investing a lot in our product, in customer satisfaction. We’ve been growing a lot, adding capacity, right?...So I would say it’s a combination of efforts,” CEO Antonoaldo Neves told Reuters.
The Abu Dhabi airline said passenger numbers rose 21% to 22.4 million in 2025, with the fleet expanding to 127 aircraft after 29 new jets were added during the year through deliveries from both Boeing <BA.N> and Airbus, along with the return to service of the A380.
The airline sees signs of continued strength in demand this year, with “more and more premium demand”, Neves said.
