Etihad Airways announces 7 new routes across GCC, Asia, Caucasus regions

Abu Dhabi-based Etihad Airways on Tuesday announced seven new destinations across the Gulf, Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia regions to further expand its network as part of its strategy to bring more point-to-point traffic directly to Abu Dhabi. The new destinations are Almaty, Kazakhstan; Baku, Azerbaijan; Bucharest, Romania; Madina, Saudi Arabia; Tbilisi, Georgia; Tashkent, Uzbekistan; and Yerevan, Armenia. The flight tickets are set to go on sale over the next few days, and services will begin in March 2026, with Madina to start operating in November 2025. These latest additions bring Etihad's total number of new destinations for 2025 to 27, following earlier announcements of year-round routes and seasonal services. 'Our goal is clear: we want to bring more people directly to Abu Dhabi. These new routes connect us to fast-growing, culturally rich regions and will help stimulate demand for tourism and trade in the UAE's capital,' said Antonoaldo Neves, Etihad's chief executive officer. 'With these seven additions, Etihad will have launched 27 new routes in a single year – a remarkable milestone that reflects our ambition and commitment to Abu Dhabi's growth,' he said. Etihad has launched inaugural flights to four new destinations this year – Prague, Warsaw, Sochi and Atlanta - and is set to add another 13 routes before the year closes. The announcement comes just days after Etihad unveiled three new seasonal summer destinations for 2026: Kraków in Poland, Salalah in Oman, and Kazan in Russia, all set to operate during the peak travel months.

FCCI, India's Madhya Pradesh explore prospects for joint economic cooperation

The Federation of UAE Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FCCI) met today in Dubai with a commercial delegation from India, headed by Dr. Mohan Yadav, Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, to discuss cooperation between the private sectors of both countries and ways to enhance it across several key industries — particularly manufacturing, textiles, and the automotive sector. During the meeting, both sides affirmed their commitment to strengthening cooperation and supporting economic partnerships through the Arab-Indian Chamber of Commerce, Industry, and Agriculture to boost trade exchange and stimulate joint investments. Humaid Mohammed bin Salem, Secretary-General of the FCCI, noted that the UAE is an attractive destination for investment, thanks to its advanced infrastructure, flexible economic legislation, and business-friendly environment, in addition to the abundance of investment opportunities across various sectors. He invited Indian companies to explore the opportunities available in the UAE market and to build effective partnerships with their Emirati counterparts, stressing that the FCCI and its member chambers are committed to supporting cooperation between business leaders and investors from both nations. The meeting also included discussions on signing a Memorandum of Understanding between the FCCI and the Madhya Pradesh Development Authority. The MoU aims to strengthen institutional cooperation frameworks, exchange expertise and knowledge, and develop communication channels between the two parties in areas of mutual interest.

Dubai: Driverless vehicles to transport luggage to flight at Al Maktoum International

The next time you fly out of Dubai World Central – Al Maktoum International (DWC), watch out for driverless baggage tractors transporting your luggage to your flight. Air and travel services provider dnata said Tuesday that it has deployed a fleet of autonomous vehicles at the airport for ground handling services. The six electric tractors – the EZTow model developed by TractEasy – tow up to four baggage containers (ULDs) at a time at speeds of up to 15 km/h, following predefined routes. Traditionally, baggage is transported between the terminal and aircraft by human drivers operating under tight time constraints. 'With these new vehicles now in service, and as they become integrated into operations, staff who previously drove baggage tractors can be reassigned to more complex, value-added tasks, supporting faster turnarounds. At the same time, autonomous driving reduces the risk of human error, making airside operations safer for everyone on the ramp,' dnata said. The Dh6 million (US$1.6 million) project deployment begins with Level 3 autonomy, which involves minimal human oversight. This will be upgraded to Level 4 autonomy defined by full self-driving capabilities in controlled environments in early 2026. dnata, TractEasy, Dubai Airports, and the UAE General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) worked together for a year to create a new regulatory framework for autonomous vehicle operations in airside environments. Authorities see the deployment as a trial to test different operating models for autonomous ground handling. The aim is to identify the most effective approach for wider rollout especially as DWC expands into what is set to become the world's largest airport, with capacity for up to 260 million passengers and 12 million tonnes of cargo annually. Jaffar Dawood, Divisional Senior Vice President for UAE Airport Operations at dnata, said: 'While autonomous vehicles have largely been limited to trials, this deployment brings the technology into regular, day-to-day operations. As global travel continues to rebound and operational demands increase, automation could be key to building smarter, safer, and more resilient infrastructure.' According to IATA, autonomous ground support equipment (GSE) trials are currently underway in more than 15 countries.
