Etihad Airways has started nonstop service from Abu Dhabi to Kraków and Palma de Mallorca, extending its European network with two leisure-oriented routes.
The move adds Poland and Spain to a schedule already built around Abu Dhabi as a connecting hub, giving the carrier more feed from the Gulf into Central Europe and the Balearics. The routes are now bookable and positioned for operational launch in June 2026, with Palma’s start set for 12 June. For Etihad, the expansion deepens schedule density in Europe and sharpens pressure on competing Gulf and European carriers.
More point-to-point capacity should follow if loads hold through the summer season.
