On December 4, Etihad Airways launched its inaugural flight to Kazan, creating a direct connection between one of Russia’s fastest-growing cities and Abu Dhabi.
The new route operates three times weekly, making these two vibrant destinations easily accessible, with a flight time of just over five hours.
Flight EY839 landed at Kazan International Airport on Thursday afternoon, welcomed with a ceremonial greeting, marking the beginning of a new travel corridor for both business and leisure travelers.
Operating on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays, the service is ideally scheduled for weekend getaways or extended holidays.
“We’re delighted to welcome guests from Kazan to discover Abu Dhabi, a city that beautifully blends Emirati heritage with contemporary innovation,” said Natalia Goryunova, country manager Russia at Etihad Airways.
“Through our Abu Dhabi hub, passengers can enjoy seamless connections to Southeast Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, the GCC region, and Australia, opening up exceptional travel opportunities across Etihad’s global network.
“Whether exploring Abu Dhabi’s cultural landmarks, pristine beaches, and thriving dining scene, or connecting onwards to destinations throughout our network, this flight opens up a world of possibilities for travelers in both directions,” he noted.
