If a summer escape is still on your wish list, or you’re already looking ahead to an autumn or festive break, there’s good news for travellers departing from Abu Dhabi.
Airlines continue to restore and strengthen their schedules at Zayed International Airport, with more carriers now operating services from the UAE capital.
While a small number of routes remain subject to schedule changes, the latest updates mean holidaymakers have more choice when planning their next trip.

Airlines Serving Abu Dhabi Right Now
Zayed International Airport is seeing a growing number of airlines operating regular services once again, as Etihad Airways continues to connect Abu Dhabi with destinations across Europe, Asia, North America and beyond, while Air Arabia Abu Dhabi maintains its network of affordable regional and international routes.
Travellers can also book flights with carriers including Qatar Airways and Wizz Air Abu Dhabi, while Turkish Airlines has confirmed the return of its Abu Dhabi services, further expanding travel options from the capital.
More Options for Your Next Getaway
The increase in available flights comes at an ideal time, with many UAE residents making the most of the summer holidays or securing flights for the busy end-of-year travel season.
A wider choice of airlines and destinations also means greater flexibility for both individuals and families, helping to find convenient departure times and competitive fares.
What is important to note is that although services have largely resumed, some routes may still operate on revised timetables depending on destination and operational requirements.
Don’t Forget to Check Before You Fly
Even as operations continue to stabilise, it’s key to stay organised and responsible before setting off for the airport, and worth checking the latest status of your flight directly with your airline.
As more planes are back in the skies, holiday plans are looking a lot easier this summer, with hope for smooth departures, stress-free journeys, and plenty of unforgettable adventures ahead.
