Etihad has unveiled ‘Etihad Escapes’, a new travel platform that gives guests an easier way to plan and book their journey in one place
The platform is set to launch in October, initially letting guests with an Etihad flight booking add accommodation directly through Etihad.com, rather than building their trip across multiple platforms.
This marks the first step towards a broader travel platform the company plans to expand in 2027, bringing flights, hotels, and additional travel services together to a single digital experience.
Antonoaldo Neves, CEO of Etihad Airways, said, “Our guests already choose Etihad to take them to some of the world’s most exciting destinations. With Etihad Escapes, we want to make the rest of their journey just as easy.
“By connecting the scale of our network with a broader travel offering, and some of Abu Dhabi’s leading visitor experiences, we can bring more visitors to the emirate, help them experience more of Abu Dhabi and support Abu Dhabi’s ambition to welcome 39.3 million visitors and generate AED 90 billion in tourism GDP by 2030.”
Future phases will see the extension of Etihad Escapes into the Etihad app and greater personalisation, Etihad Guest loyalty integration, and a wider range of travel experiences and ancillary services.
