Etihad Airways will expand its Abu Dhabi–Paris Charles de Gaulle operation to three daily flights from July 1 to October 24, 2026, including two daily services operated by the Airbus A380. The move significantly increases capacity on the route, particularly in premium cabins, as the A380 features the carrier’s three-class layout and its flagship product, The Residence.
According to the airline’s published schedule, flight EY31 will depart Abu Dhabi at 02:35 and arrive in Paris at 07:55, while EY33 will leave Abu Dhabi at 14:20 and reach Paris at 19:30. Both services will be operated by the A380. A third daily rotation, EY35, will depart Abu Dhabi at 08:50 and arrive in Paris at 14:00 using a Boeing 787-9 configured with First, Business, and Economy cabins.
Return services from Paris will see EY32 depart Charles de Gaulle at 10:40 and land in Abu Dhabi at 19:35, with EY34 leaving at 21:50 and arriving at 06:30 the following day; both flights will use the A380. EY36, operated by a 787-9, will depart Paris at 15:50 and arrive in Abu Dhabi at 00:30 the next day. Paris becomes one of a limited number of cities to receive double-daily A380 service from Etihad.
