Etihad Airways is set to introduce direct flights to Luxembourg, becoming the first airline from the Middle East to operate services to the country. Launching on Oct 29 2026, the new route will also be the only nonstop connection between Luxembourg and Abu Dhabi, linking two key centres in Europe and the Middle East, the airline said.
Lufthansa will mark its 100th anniversary in 2026, commemorating a century since the founding of the original “Luft Hansa” on January 6, 1926. The airline’s first flight followed shortly after, on April 6 of the same year, marking the beginning of what would become one of aviation’s most recognisable brands.
Tata Group-owned Air India on Tuesday announced a new, unilateral codeshare partnership with airBaltic, the flag carrier of Latvia, thus making the Baltic region more conveniently accessible for Air India customers.
