• Etihad Airways is exploring a potential order for A350 and A330neo aircraft.
• The airline has posted record nine-month profits of $463 million.
• Etihad's nine-month revenue reached $5.9 billion, up 18% from the previous year.
• The airline carried 16.1 million passengers in the first nine months of 2025, the highest ever total in its history.

This development may suggest Etihad's confidence in Airbus aircraft and its ability to drive growth. The airline's focus on efficiency and performance could indicate a shift towards more fuel-efficient and modern aircraft, potentially benefiting Airbus in the market. However, it is unclear whether the potential order will materialize, and the airline's financial performance may be influenced by various factors, including market conditions and global demand.
