Etihad Airways' April 2024 passenger numbers were up 39% year-on-year. It had carried 1.4 million passengers during the month, up from 1 million in the same period a year prior. It has carried 5.7 million passengers throughout the year to the end of April, up 41% from its year-to-date April 2023 figures.
""These figures come on the back of robust first-quarter 2024 financial results with Q1 earnings equivalent to our total net income for the entire financial year 2023, and underline our ongoing commitment to resilience, customer service, and efficiency,"" said Etihad Airways CEO Antonoaldo Neves.
He added: ""We continue to grow our network and our frequency to match customer demand, and in April [2024] we successfully reintroduced our much-loved A380 onto our New York route while announcing plans to add it to our flights to Paris from November 1 [2024].""
Its load factor was up three percentage points YoY to 84% in the month.
