Atlanta in the southeast coast is emerging as a destination of interest for several international airlines, including Emirates, Etihad, and Saudi Airlines. While Emirates and Saudia are trying to get Atlanta on their global networks, Etihad made a surprise announcement about the launch of its service to Hartsfield -Jackson Atlanta Int. Airport. If things go as planned, Etihad flights to Atlanta will take off on 2 July 2025 and provide one-stop connection to India via Abu Dhabi.
