EY volerà in Lussemburgo, Abu Dhabi sarà la terza destinazione LR servita dopo quelle offerte da CZ per Canton e Zhengzhou.
Etihad Airways collegherà Abu Dhabi con il Lussemburgo, dal prossimo 29 ottobre
16 gennaio 2026 10:06 da travelquotidiano.com
Ventisei anni dopo l’ultimo volo per New York effettuato da Luxair, l’aeroporto di Lussemburgo avrà un nuovo volo intercontinentale: un collegamento proveniente da Abu Dhabi, operato da Etihad Airways.
Etihad diverrà così la prima compagnia aerea del Medio Oriente a servire lo Stato del Lussemburgo. E quando i servizi inizieranno, il 29 ottobre 2026, il vettore sarà anche l’unico a offrire voli diretti tra Lussemburgo e Abu Dhabi, creando un nuovo collegamento aereo diretto tra due importanti centri europei e mediorientali.
La nuova rotta riflette la crescente domanda da parte dei viaggiatori di Lussemburgo, Benelux, Francia e Germania di un accesso diretto ad Abu Dhabi. I voli saranno operativi tre volte alla settimana, il lunedì, il giovedì e il sabato e verranno effettuati con un Airbus A321LR.
Con il Lussemburgo che funge anche da porta d’accesso per i vicini Francia, Germania e Belgio, il nuovo servizio rafforza la presenza di Etihad in una regione che comprende grandi città come Metz e Nancy in Francia, Saarbrücken, Treviri e Coblenza in Germania.
“Siamo lieti di annunciare questa rotta storica, resa possibile dal lancio dell’A321LR lo scorso anno – afferma il ceo del vettore, Antonoaldo Neves -. Questo velivolo offre ai nostri ospiti un’esperienza davvero premium, consentendoci al contempo di soddisfare mercati che altrimenti potrebbero non essere serviti. Per la prima volta, il Lussemburgo sarà collegato direttamente al Medio Oriente, con Etihad come unica compagnia aerea che offre un collegamento diretto con Abu Dhabi.
“Questa rotta non riguarda solo la connettività, ma anche la creazione di nuovi ponti tra l’Europa e gli Emirati Arabi Uniti, aprendo nuove opportunità per il business, il turismo e gli scambi culturali”.

Re: EY volerà in Lussemburgo
Un aereo come il 321 LR gli permette di aprire anche questo tipo di destinazioni sottili
Re: EY volerà in Lussemburgo e a Calgary
Non apro un nuovo 3d, ma posto qui la notizia: da novembre 2026 EY apre Abu Dhabi-Calgary 4xw. In Canada la compagnia vola già su Toronto. Nell'articolo qui sotto riportato, si sottolinea il fatto che ultimamente EY sta scegliendo destinazioni "insolite" e non servite da altre compagnie concorrenti (vedasi Charlotte).
Etihad’s Abu Dhabi to Calgary route launches November 2026
As of November 3, 2026, Etihad will launch a new 4x flight between Abu Dhabi (AUH), United Arab Emirates, and Calgary (YYC), Canada, operating with the following schedule:
EY29 Abu Dhabi to Calgary departing 8:45AM arriving 12:20PM
EY30 Calgary to Abu Dhabi departing 6:05PM arriving 7:00PM (+1 day)
The route will operate 4x weekly in both directions, on Sundays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. The 7,184-mile flight is blocked at 14hr35min westbound and 13hr55min eastbound. Side note — at least in summer, this route should have some pretty spectacular views over the Arctic Circle, give or take.
Etihad will fly from Abu Dhabi to Calgary
Etihad will use a two-cabin Boeing 787-9 for the route, including 28 business class seats and 262 economy class seats. The new flight is already bookable, directly through etihad.com, or via your preferred online travel agency.
Here’s how Etihad CEO Antonoaldo Neves describes this service:
“The launch of our Abu Dhabi–Calgary service is both a significant and historic step in Etihad’s global expansion. By creating the only nonstop link between the Middle East and Western Canada, we are opening new opportunities for trade, tourism and investment, while giving travellers direct access to two distinctive and globally important destinations.”
“This is an exciting announcement for us, bringing together two remarkable places. For Canadian travellers, it opens direct access to Abu Dhabi’s rich culture and year-round experiences, while guests from the UAE and across our network gain seamless access to Calgary and the natural beauty of Western Canada. It is a route designed to stimulate two-way tourism and deepen ties between our regions.”
How Calgary fits into Etihad’s route network
Calgary will be Etihad’s eighth destination in North America, after Atlanta (ATL), Boston (BOS), Charlotte (CLT), Chicago (ORD), New York (JFK), Toronto (YYZ), and Washington (IAD). Service to Atlanta, Boston, and Charlotte, are all recent additions.
Etihad is in an interesting position. The airline is obviously way smaller than Gulf rivals Emirates and Qatar, though it’s growing quickly, and the company’s executives insist that this growth is profitable and sustainable (after the airline previously tried to grow, lost a ton of money, and then shrunk).
So along those lines, we’ve seen Etihad add some unconventional long haul routes. Etihad hasn’t returned to destinations like Dallas (DFW), Los Angeles (LAX), or San Francisco (SFO), all of which are markets the airline used to serve (unprofitably), and which are served by competitors. For that matter, the airline isn’t even going to fly to Vancouver (YVR), which you’d think would be the logical airport to serve in Western Canada, if you have the bilateral Canada & UAE slots to operate that service.
I have to imagine that an announcement of some sort of a WestJet partnership is imminent, given the size of the carrier’s hub in Calgary. This route can only make sense with connectivity, especially on a year-round basis.
Etihad’s current growth situation is incredibly interesting. I’m not sure where this strategy falls on the scale of “Etihad management is playing 4D chess” to “what on earth are they doing.” Either way, I certainly commend the airline for adding some creative routes, rather than simply replicating what other airlines are doing.
Etihad’s previous newest North America destination to be announced was Charlotte, and that’s also an airport not served by the other Gulf carriers.

Re: EY volerà in Lussemburgo
Charlotte è hub AA ed EY ha partnership con AA. Scelta sensata se si vogliono servire mercati in maniera più generale.
