Etihad Airways is starting a new direct route between Abu Dhabi and Gothenburg, Sweden, beginning in December. The service will operate on a scheduled basis, marking Etihad's entry into the Swedish market.

### What it means for you

This route launch may create new one-stop options for Australian business travellers heading to Scandinavia via Abu Dhabi, though the practical benefit depends on flight times and frequency. Etihad's network expansion tends to improve award availability on its hub, so frequent flyers should monitor points redemption on this and connected routes.
