Etihad has announced it will be launching a new travel platform that allows its customers to plan and book their journey in one place.
Etihad Escapes will launch in October and will allow guests to add hotel accommodation along with their flight booking. It highlights Etihad’s first step towards an integrated booking experience which spans flights, hotels, loyalty and more travel services.
Etihad aims to continue to expand through 2027 bringing travel services together in one single digital experience.
Antonoaldo Neves, Chief Executive Officer 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.
“This is about building a much deeper relationship with our guests beyond the flight. Over time, Etihad Escapes will bring together flights, hotels, loyalty and other travel experiences in one place, creating a simpler and more personalised way to travel.
“It also creates an important new growth platform for Etihad and for Abu Dhabi. 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 extend Etihad Escapes into the Etihad app and introduce greater personalisation, Etihad Guest loyalty integration and a wider range of travel experiences
