More of China: Etihad Airways Spreads Wings to Guangzhou

Etihad Airways is set to start flying to Guangzhou next month, becoming the first international airline to operate passenger services to the top three Chinese gateways since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Subject to regulatory approvals, the twice-weekly service to Guangzhou will start on 10 October, initially using a two-class Boeing 777-300ER.

The new route means Etihad will be offering guests convenient access to three Chinese gateways as Guangzhou is added to existing services to Shanghai which resumed in July 2020 and Beijing, which resumed in June 2022.

With the addition of these new services from 10 October, Etihad will offer four weekly flights between Abu Dhabi and China: two services per week to Guangzhou and weekly services to Beijing and Shanghai

Those wishing to book are advised to visit Etihad.com, and to remain informed on the relevant entry regulations at their end destination.

Flights are also available for booking through the Etihad mobile app, by calling the Etihad Airways Contact Centre on +971 600 555 666 (UAE) or +86 400 8822 050 (Mainland China), or through local or online travel agencies.
