Etihad Airways has expanded its European network this summer with the launch of seasonal flights to Palma de Mallorca, strengthening connectivity to Spain’s leisure tourism markets and positioning itself to capture growing demand for travel to the Balearic Islands, including Ibiza.
The Balearic hotspot becomes the 29th new destination announced by Etihad Airways this year and represents the only direct connection between Asia and Palma de Mallorca.
This creates a vital new gateway for travelers to access Ibiza and the wider Balearic Islands while further enhancing Etihad’s global network reach.
From 12 June until mid-September 2026, Etihad will operate three weekly flights between Abu Dhabi and Palma de Mallorca, giving travelers the perfect gateway to golden beaches, turquoise waters, and vibrant Spanish culture.
