On Monday (October 6, 2025), Etihad Airways announced the launch of new, exclusive direct service from Abu Dhabi to Medan, Sumatra in Indonesia and Phnom Penh in Cambodia.  The sold-out inaugural flights touched down on October 2nd and 3rd, respectively.  Both routes will be operated with an Airbus A321LR featuring a three-cabin configuration, including Etihad’s first-ever narrowbody First Suites with private, enclosed spaces and sliding doors, fully-flat beds, and design touches normally reserved for long-haul widebody operations. Guests are able to book Etihad’s enhanced First Deluxe service which offers a personal Concierge, Etihad Global Chauffeur, Meet and Assist and other exclusive benefits.  This year alone, Etihad has launched 21 new routes, growing their global network to a total of 83 destinations. 


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


“We’re proud to expand our network in Southeast Asia, inviting more guests across the region to explore our home with a convenient and direct route to Abu Dhabi, creating new connections for commerce and tourism between Abu Dhabi and the region. We’re also pleased to encourage and inspire travel to these two new culturally rich and diverse places, both Sumatra and Phnom Penh are extraordinary destinations with both natural and man-made wonders to offer and explore.”
