Abu Dhabi-based Etihad Airways has unveiled special livery to celebrate its 20th anniversary.
The design’s line-style art celebrates the intricate beauty of unity, with each stroke embodying the essence of the airline’s home. It reflects the rich history that the national airline of the United Arab Emirates has developed over the last twenty years as one of Abu Dhabi’s home-grown brands.
The design has been applied to one of the A321neos that has just joined the airline’s fleet, and artfully showcases iconic landmarks across Abu Dhabi.
The livery marks our 20th year of delivering remarkable service, fulfilling our mission to deliver extraordinary experiences inspired by our Emirati identity. It reflects the journey we have been on, and it also sets the tone for our future as we give flight to our ambition, to be the airline that everyone wants to fly.

The livery decal wraps around both sides of the fuselage in both Arabic and English and has been applied to one of six A321neos which have recently joined the airline “after an intense period of activity involving teams across the airline”.
The carrier has taken delivery of six A321neos recently to boost flights.
We are pleased to have brought in this fleet so quickly after committing the aircraft in December last year. With constrained aircraft deliveries worldwide, this fleet is an important bridge for our growth plans as we anticipate the arrival of over 20 new aircraft in 2025.
An airline normally takes up to two years to bring a new airframe and engine type into operation, and it is a testament to the speed and flexibility of our Etihad teams and our partners that we have been able to commission them safely and compliantly within seven months.
John Wright, Chief Operations and Guest Officer, Etihad Airways said.
The aircraft are being deployed on various routes to India and the Middle East.
