Etihad Airways Launches 30% Discount on Flights from India to US and Europe
uni tribune ,In a strategic move to boost travel demand ahead of the winter season, Etihad Airways has announced a 30% discount on economy class fares for passengers traveling from India to major destinations in the United States and Europe. The offer, unveiled this week, coincides with India’s Independence Day celebrations. This discount is valid for bookings made through August 15, 2025.
Operated via its modern hub at Zayed International Airport (AUH) in Abu Dhabi, Etihad Airways is targeting the high-volume Indian outbound market. The airline offers significantly reduced fares to key cities, including:
- United States: New York, Chicago (from AED 3,273), Washington DC (AED 3,149), Atlanta, Boston, and Los Angeles
- Canada: Toronto (AED 3,599)
- Europe: Paris, Rome, Madrid, Barcelona (AED 2,036), Dublin (AED 2,149), Munich, Frankfurt, Brussels, Prague, Warsaw, and Sochi
The promotion allows travelers to book tickets for journeys between September 2025 and March 2026. It covers the autumn, winter holiday, and early spring travel periods — ideal for tourism, education, and family visits.
A Competitive Edge in the Gulf-Air Travel Market
The new discount follows Etihad’s recent summer campaign, which offered 25% off on both economy and business class tickets. As the 2025 summer travel season concludes, Gulf carriers are intensifying promotional efforts to capture forward-looking demand. With India being one of the largest sources of international air travelers in the region, Etihad Airways positions Abu Dhabi as a strong alternative to other regional hubs like Dubai and Doha.
Etihad’s focus on seamless connectivity, combined with competitive pricing, enhances its appeal. It particularly attracts cost-conscious flyers seeking reliable service and efficient transit times.
New Aircraft, Enhanced Passenger Experience
The fare reduction coincides with the airline’s fleet modernization efforts. Last week, Etihad Airways operated the first commercial flight of its new Airbus A321LR (Long Range), flight EY414, from Abu Dhabi to Phuket.
The A321LR is designed to deliver Etihad’s signature premium standards on short and medium-haul routes. It features advanced cabin interiors, improved fuel efficiency, and extended range. This ensures a consistent, high-quality travel experience even on regional flights.
Why This Deal Matters
A 30% discount on long-haul flights can translate into hundreds of dollars in savings for travelers. This is especially beneficial for students, families, and budget-conscious tourists. For many Indian passengers, connecting through Abu Dhabi offers a balance of affordability, comfort, and reliability.
Moreover, the Etihad Airways promotion reflects the growing importance of India-Gulf aviation ties. Airlines are competing to attract one of the world’s fastest-growing outbound travel markets.
How to Book
Travelers can take advantage of the discounted fares via:
- Etihad’s official website
- Customer service centers
- Authorized travel agencies
Tip: Seats at these discounted rates are limited and expected to sell quickly. Early booking is recommended.
