On Monday (September 29, 2025), Etihad Airways announced the launch of their inaugural flight between Abu Dhabi and Peshawar, Pakistan (PEW), expanding their network to 83 global destinations.   The route will now operate five times weekly on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays.  Peshawar is the capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, and renowned for its rich history, cultural heritage, and role as a gateway to trade and tourism.  Peshawar becomes Etihad’s fourth nonstop destination in Pakistan, complementing existing service to Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad.


In Monday’s announcement, Etihad Airways’ CEO, Antonoaldo Neves, said,


“The launch of Peshawar reflects Etihad’s commitment to building a robust global network. With Pakistan being home to one of the largest expatriate communities in the UAE, we are pleased to launch this new route offering more flexibility for the community’s travel needs.  With this new service, we are going beyond connecting families and friends, we are also welcoming more visitors from Pakistan to discover Abu Dhabi as a vibrant global business and tourism destination.”
