ABU DHABI, 4th December, 2025 (WAM) -- Etihad Airways today launched its inaugural flight to Kazan, establishing a direct link between one of Russia's fastest-growing cities and Abu Dhabi.

The new route, operating three times weekly, brings these two dynamic destinations within easy reach, with a flight time of just over five hours.
