Etihad operates three times per week to both Geneva and Zurich, with the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner.
Flying to, from, and via Abu Dhabi is supported by the airline’s fully redesigned sanitisation and safety programme, Etihad Wellness, which ensures the highest standards of hygiene are maintained at every stage of the customer journey.
