About Etihad Airways
Etihad Airways is the Abu Dhabi-based national airline of the United Arab Emirates. It operates from Zayed International Airport (AUH) and carries a mix of passengers visiting the UAE capital and travellers connecting between Europe, the Middle East, the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, Australia and North America. Etihad is not a member of a global alliance. Instead it relies on codeshare agreements with individual airlines to extend its reach. It sells economy and business class across the network, and first class on selected long-haul aircraft.
If you book for clients who travel through the Gulf, Etihad is a name you will want to compare against the carriers based in Dubai and Doha. On IATA.co you run a live fare search in the booking portal or send the same request to the flights API, and you pay from your prepaid balance when you book. Etihad Airways fares appear in your search results whenever our flight suppliers offer them for your route and dates. Check the fare rules displayed with each result, since conditions differ from one fare to another.
Etihad Airways airline codes explained
Etihad Airways uses the two-letter IATA airline code EY and the three-letter ICAO code ETD. The IATA code EY is the one shown on tickets, fare displays and booking screens, while the ICAO code ETD is used in air traffic control and flight planning.
Etihad Airways is a full-service carrier, based in United Arab Emirates, operating mainly from Abu Dhabi (AUH). It is not part of a global airline alliance.
Booking Etihad Airways fares as a travel agent
Travel agents book Etihad Airways fares on IATA.co without their own IATA accreditation. Activate an agency account, top up a prepaid balance, then search live EY fares in the booking portal: the price, baggage and fare rules are shown with each offer before you confirm, and the amount is deducted from your balance. Etihad Airways results appear whenever our flight suppliers return them for your route and dates, so what you can book follows live supplier content rather than a direct airline deal.
Search Etihad Airways (EY) through the flights API
Developers and agencies can run the same Etihad Airways search from their own site, app or back office through the IATA.co flights API. Filter a search by the carrier code EY and read the fares back as JSON, then book from the same prepaid balance. See the flights API and the API docs for the full reference.
