Etihad launched daily flights between the UAE capital Abu Dhabi and Dublin, Ireland on 2 July 2007. 

Tony Douglas, Group chief executive officer, Etihad Aviation Group, said: “Since we began flying to Dublin, Etihad has always strongly supported the Irish market. We have been very proud to have won numerous awards along the way including the Irish Travel Trade Award for ‘Best International Airline’. To date, we’ve carried more than 3.6 million passengers to and from Ireland, connecting our guests with the world via our home Abu Dhabi. 

“Guests flying with us from Dublin will experience Etihad’s Boeing 777 as well as the Boeing 787 Dreamliner which is one of the most fuel-efficient aircraft in the world. This aircraft is the backbone of Etihad’s fleet and represents our commitment to being a leader in aviation sustainability. Just last week we were named ‘Environmental Airline of the Year 2022’ in the annual Airline Ratings awards as testament to this.”
