Etihad Airways will raise Abu Dhabi-Kabul flying to twice daily from 15 July, moving quickly from the route’s March launch and an initial four-weekly pattern to a higher-capacity schedule. The airline is responding to demand that has run ahead of its early forecast, and the change gives it more inventory on a market that has filled faster than planned.
The new timetable adds frequency in both directions, with flight pairs EY312/EY313 and EY310/EY311 covering the expanded operation. For operators, the move shows Etihad using Abu Dhabi’s hub to capture point-to-point traffic while also feeding onward connections across Europe and other long-haul banks.
The Kabul route now looks less like a trial and more like a permanent capacity build-out.
