Etihad Air ways takes off to Egypt’s Al Alamein

Etihad Airways on Friday marked the launch of its inaugural flight to Al Alamein (DBB), adding the Egyptian coastal city to its list of seasonal summer destinations.

This new direct service brings travellers closer to one of the Mediterranean’s most alluring seaside destinations, with twice-weekly flights from Abu Dhabi to Al Alamein. The conveniently timed flights operate on Thursdays and Sundays enabling a quick weekend getaway or longer break away.

"The launch of Al Alamein reflects our strategic focus on expanding Etihad’s network to serve high-demand seasonal routes,” said Antonoaldo Neves, Chief Executive Officer at Etihad Airways. "As leisure travel continues to grow, destinations like Al Alamein offer tremendous appeal for our guests seeking premium summer experiences. This new connection supports our broader commitment to offering more choice and flexibility across our rapidly growing network.”

Meanwhile Etihad Airways launched the Etihad for Business corporate portal, bringing the airline's comprehensive business travel programme fully online.

Companies can now access their complete corporate travel management suite through a single digital platform.

The portal enables businesses to manage their travel programmes with enhanced tools, track performance data in real-time, and handle benefit redemptions with self-service capabilities.

Corporate customers can now access contract details, monitor travel spend, and redeem Etihad for Business credits for a comprehensive suite of travel benefits.

"We've created a platform that puts control directly in our corporate partners' hands," said Javier Alija, Vice President Global Sales & Distribution at Etihad Airways. "Companies can now manage everything from performance tracking to benefit redemptions through one simple interface."

The Etihad for Business programme rewards corporate customers for their business travel, allowing them to enhance their employees' travel experience through a flexible credit system. Companies can use earned credits to purchase from a suite of benefits including seat upgrades, priority services, lounge access, and ground transportation.
