Zayed International Airport hits record 32.5m passengers in 2025

Huge year for Abu Dhabi aviation - Zayed International handled a record 32.5m passengers in 2025 (up 12.8%), helped by Etihad’s big route push (39 new routes) and seven new airlines serving the city. Etihad carried 22.4m passengers (a 21% rise) with an 88.3% load factor and a fleet of 127 planes. Abu Dhabi’s airports saw over 33m passengers across the emirate, cargo up 12%, and plans are underway to expand Terminal A and start major airport construction in late 2027. https://www.thenationalnews.com/business/aviation/2026/01/29/zayed-international-airport-handled-record-325m-passengers-in-2025-as-etihad-airways-expands/

Good for the economy. Hope they sort the passenger flow before Terminal A expansion starts - airports can get chaotic.

32.5m is wild. Abu Dhabi's turning into a real hub, not just a stopover. Curious about airline prices with all that route growth.

Nice to see Abu Dhabi growing - that 32.5m is impressive. Wonder how traffic will feel during peak season though.

Cargo up 12% too - shows trade is picking up. Excited to see the new construction plans in 2027, should be a game changer.

Congrats to Etihad. 127 planes and 39 new routes? That's serious expansion. Flights should get more options now.
