Etihad Airways to Launch 15‑Hour Nonstop Flight Between Abu Dhabi and Calgary in Two Months

Etihad Airways is poised to introduce a 15‑hour nonstop service linking Abu Dhabi International Airport (AUH) with Calgary International Airport (YYC) in just two months. The UAE flag carrier will operate the route on its Boeing 787‑9 Dreamliner wide‑body twinjets, marking Calgary’s first direct Middle Eastern connection. While the airline has not yet announced the exact launch date, the planned corridor promises a new, time‑saving option for business and leisure travelers between the Middle East and Canada. The service could open fresh opportunities for tourism, trade, and cultural exchange, although the full impact will become clearer once the inaugural flight takes off.
