The inaugural flight carried 135 passengers and was greeted with a traditional water salute, symbolising a warm welcome.
The new service will be operated by Etihad's Airbus A320 aircraft, featuring eight seats in Business Class and 150 in Economy Class.
The reception featured official ceremonies, where passengers were greeted by the airport's public relations team with flowers, chocolates, and commemorative gifts.
The new route will operate twice weekly, representing a significant step toward boosting travel and tourism to Egypt's North Coast.
The flights operate on Thursdays and Sundays, making them ideal for a quick weekend getaway or an extended holiday.
"The launch of Al Alamein reflects our strategic focus on expanding Etihad's network to serve high-demand seasonal routes. As leisure travel continues to grow, destinations like Al Alamein offer tremendous appeal for our guests seeking premium summer experiences," said Antonoaldo Neves, Chief Executive Officer at Etihad Airways.
