Etihad Airways, the national airline of the UAE, is accelerating its growth in the United States with two major enhancements to its North American network, increasing capacity and connectivity across key markets.
Chicago O’Hare will move to double-daily service, while Charlotte will increase to daily flights from June 15, building on strong early performance following the launch of services on March 20, 2026.
Together, the enhancements significantly expand Etihad’s US footprint, strengthening connectivity between North America and high-growth markets across India and Asia-Pacific, while improving access to the US domestic network through partner airlines.
The expanded schedule will offer travellers greater flexibility and more seamless connections beyond Chicago and Charlotte to major cities across the United States, and onwards across Etihad’s global network. Both routes will be operated by Etihad’s Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, featuring 32 Business and 271 Economy seats.
