Munich Airport Adds Gulf Capacity as Etihad Plans Third Daily Abu Dhabi Flight

The added capacity targets rising demand on the Munich–Gulf corridor.

Overview

  • Air Arabia began daily Munich–Sharjah flights on December 15, 2025, using an Airbus A320neo.
  • The Munich–Sharjah service is the airline’s first scheduled route from Sharjah to Germany and operates through the Christmas period.
  • Etihad will launch a third daily Munich–Abu Dhabi departure on September 1, 2026, scheduled at 16:10 with an Airbus A321LR.
  • The new Etihad rotation complements existing nonstops around 10:40 and 21:10 and is described by the airport as a response to rising demand.
  • Both developments expand transfer options to the Middle East and Asia, with Sharjah offering quick access to Dubai.
