ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — Etihad Airways has announced the launch of the first-ever nonstop flights between the UAE and Calgary, creating a new strategic air link between the Middle East and Western Canada. The service began on November 3, 2026, and the airline says it supports Abu Dhabi's long-term ambitions to drive international trade, tourism and investment.
According to Etihad, the route is operated by its Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, featuring the airline's latest widebody Business and Economy cabins. The schedule from November 3 (all times local) is: flight EY29 departs Abu Dhabi at 08:45 and arrives in Calgary at 12:20; flight EY30 departs Calgary at 18:05 and arrives in Abu Dhabi at 19:00; both flights operate on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays.

Antonoaldo Neves, Chief Executive Officer at Etihad Airways, said the launch of the Abu Dhabi–Calgary service is a significant and historic step in the airline's global expansion, creating the only nonstop link between the Middle East and Western Canada and opening new opportunities for trade, tourism and investment. Chris Dinsdale, President and CEO of Calgary Airports, said the direct route connects the region's leisure and business travellers to important locations in the Middle East, as well as linked destinations in Africa, Asia and around the world.
Etihad states that Calgary is its latest long-haul addition, following recent route announcements including Luxembourg and Palma, and that the launch strengthens its presence in North America, complementing existing services to Toronto, New York and Chicago, as well as Charlotte, due to begin operations in March.
