Arik De, Chief Revenue and Commercial Officer, said: “We are delighted to announce this strategic partnership with Condor and welcome their new services to Abu Dhabi. Germany is a vital market for Etihad, and adding Berlin alongside new Frankfurt options meets clear passenger demand – including a direct capital-to-capital link that further strengthens UAE-Germany ties.

These new services complement Etihad’s existing flights to Germany and expand direct, convenient access to Abu Dhabi for even more visitors, supporting the emirate’s growing tourism sector and wider economic ambitions. 

Together, the flights will offer enhanced connectivity between Europe and the Middle East, Asia and Africa, giving travellers access to over 80 destinations through the combined networks and creating even more opportunities to experience Abu Dhabi and its world-class attractions.

Etihad Guest members will be able to earn and redeem miles when flying on the Condor-operated flights between Frankfurt or Berlin and Abu Dhabi, with further loyalty programme benefits to be introduced under the new partnership.
