Etihad Boosts Africa-Pakistan Links with 4x Daily Karachi Flights
Attention African travel agents: Etihad Airways is launching four-times-daily flights from Abu Dhabi to Karachi starting October 1st, 2025, unlocking exciting new opportunities for your clients traveling between Africa and Pakistan. This significant expansion creates a total of 28 weekly non-stop services to Karachi, Pakistan’s economic heart, and opens doors to seamless connections across Etihad’s global network.
This move is a game-changer for travel between Africa and Pakistan. With 28 weekly flights to Karachi, Etihad offers unparalleled connectivity via its Abu Dhabi hub. Imagine: your clients can now enjoy smoother, faster journeys to Pakistan, with optimized departure and arrival times designed to minimize layovers and maximize convenience. Tickets are already on sale, so start planning your clients' trips today!
Etihad’s commitment to enhancing its global network is evident in this strategic expansion. By increasing its total weekly flights to Pakistan to 60, including the new Karachi services and recently announced flights to Peshawar, Etihad strengthens its position as a key player in connecting East and West. This is particularly relevant for African travelers, who can now leverage Etihad’s extensive network to reach Pakistan and beyond with greater ease.
For African travel professionals, this means more options and greater flexibility when planning itineraries. The increased frequency of flights translates to shorter connection times in Abu Dhabi, allowing for smoother transitions and a wider choice of departure and arrival options. This is especially beneficial for business travelers and those visiting friends and family, who value efficient and convenient travel arrangements.
This expansion also presents new business opportunities for African travel agents. The growing trade relations between Africa and Pakistan, coupled with the presence of vibrant diaspora communities, create a strong demand for travel between the two regions. Etihad’s enhanced connectivity provides the perfect platform to capitalize on this demand, offering travel agents the chance to expand their client base and tap into a lucrative market.
Etihad’s strategic partnerships further amplify the benefits of this expansion. The airline’s joint venture with Ethiopian Airlines, for instance, provides access to an extensive network of over 55 destinations across Africa. This means that travelers from numerous African cities can now connect seamlessly to Karachi via Abu Dhabi, enjoying a smooth and integrated travel experience.
The four-times-daily Karachi service is more than just a flight schedule enhancement; it’s a gateway to new possibilities. For African travel agents, it represents an opportunity to offer clients unparalleled connectivity, convenience, and choice. It’s a chance to tap into growing travel demand and forge stronger connections between Africa and Pakistan. And it’s a testament to Etihad’s commitment to providing world-class travel solutions for a globalized world.
