Etihad Airways welcomes 20mln passengers, over 100 aircraft
Etihad continues to soar with a record-breaking year, reaching new milestones for the first time in the airline's history. Antonoaldo Neves, Chief Executive Officer at Etihad Airways, commented, 'The last 12 months have seen Etihad flying high, breaking records and achieving new milestones at an astonishing rate. Following a record Q1, with AED685 million profit and our highest ever customer satisfaction scores, Etihad has now welcomed more than 20 million guests in the last year, for the first time in the airline's history. 'We continue our upward trajectory as part of a broader growth story that has seen our annual passenger numbers more than double from 10 million to 20 million in just two and a half years. This sustained growth is driven by expanding demand, a dynamic global network, and a clear strategic focus.' He added, 'We are the only airline in the region growing at this pace and we have no intention of slowing down. 2025 is proving to be our biggest year yet.' Achieving another milestone, Etihad has introduced three more aircraft into its expanding fleet, bringing the operational fleet size to more than 100 aircraft. The airline welcomed back its seventh Airbus A380 to service and received a brand-new Boeing B787-9 delivered from Charleston, US, with an all-Emirati flight crew. Etihad also received the first of three brand-new Airbus 350-1000s delivered today. Boasting one of the youngest aircraft fleets in the industry, Etihad continues to make strategic investments to meet the overwhelming demand from guests. The airline is expecting to receive 18 additional new aircraft in 2025, including the delivery of its new A321LR fleet which will enter into service from 1 August. Refining luxury, the new A321LR fleet will offer First Suites, fully lie-flat Business seats, 4K screens and high-speed super Wi-Fi in all cabins, allowing guests to stay connected via messages, calls and stream while in the air. Earlier this year, Etihad announced the order of 28 wide-body aircraft from Boeing to support its plans for growth and connectivity, operational efficiency and guest experience. Following the airline's recent announcement of seven additional destinations, Etihad will have added 27 new routes this year, a remarkable milestone that reflects its ambition and commitment to increase the number of visitors to Abu Dhabi. Flying to almost 90 destinations worldwide by the end of 2025, leveraging its strategic geographical advantage connecting Europe and Asia, this expansion is part of Etihad's ongoing strategy to support the economic growth of Abu Dhabi. These achievements are a huge step toward the goals the Etihad set out in its ambitious growth strategy which would see the network grow to more than 125 destinations, fleet to more than 170 aircraft, and passenger numbers to 38 million per year, by 2030. With rapid growth in every direction, the airline is set to exceed the expectations of its seven-year growth plan, a reflection of demand and extraordinary customer satisfaction. Etihad's success is a reflection of Abu Dhabi's strong aviation sector which continues to demonstrate robust growth and strategic momentum, underscoring its position as a leading global gateway for passengers and cargo.

UAE issues new decision on depreciation rules for investment properties under corporate tax law
Image: WAM The UAE Read- It specifies the conditions under which depreciation will be calculated and the method for making tax adjustments, in line with the Federal Decree-Law No 47 of 2022 on the Taxation of Corporations and Businesses. Investment properties: The move is part of ongoing efforts to implement the UAE's corporate tax regime The ministry said the decision aims to ensure consistency in how taxable income is calculated for corporate tax purposes, especially in sectors where investment properties are a significant part of the balance sheet. The move is part of ongoing efforts to implement the UAE's Further guidance is expected to be released to support companies in aligning their tax reporting with the new requirements. Abu Dhabi-based property developer Aldar welcomed the update, with group chief financial and sustainability officer Faisal Falaknaz calling it a 'progressive and well-calibrated step' that promotes fairness, supports long-term capital planning, and boosts investor confidence. It's a technical change, but one that could have a big impact on how real estate firms approach tax compliance and valuation strategies in the UAE. ' Aldar expresses its gratitude for the UAE Ministry of Finance for this progressive and well-calibrated step, which reflects a deep commitment to fairness, clarity, and international best practices in the implementation of the Corporate Tax Law,' Falaknaz said. In recent news the Ministry of Finance and the Federal Tax Authority also amended the excise tax on sugar-sweetened beverages, replacing the flat rate with a tiered volumetric model that ties the tax per litre to the sugar content per 100ml. The higher the sugar content, the higher the tax, an approach aimed at promoting public health, curbing consumption of high-sugar drinks, and pushing manufacturers to reduce sugar levels in their products.

Mideast Stocks: Abu Dhabi index gains on oil surge, Dubai falls on profit-taking
Abu Dhabi index closed higher on Friday, supported by an increase in oil prices after the European Union introduced new sanctions against Russia, while the Dubai index declined after investors moved to book profit on last five sessions' gains. The EU sanctions, aimed at punishing Moscow over its war in Ukraine, include fresh measures targeting the Russian oil and energy industry and lower the G7's price cap for buying Russian crude oil to $47.6 per barrel. Oil prices - a key catalyst for Gulf's financial market - rose 0.75% to reach $70.04 a barrel by 1106 GMT. Abu Dhabi's benchmark index recorded gains for the fourth session with the index finishing 0.2% higher, led by a 1.7% jump in Emirates Telecom Group, while its biggest lender First Abu Dhabi Bank added 0.5%. Dubai's main index meanwhile fell 0.2%, ending a five-day winning streak after reaching its highest level in 17 and a half years during the previous session. Losses were driven by a decline in financial sector stocks as Dubai's top lender Emirates NBD Bank dropped 2.4% after three consecutive session gains, while Commercial Bank of Dubai slumped 3.6%. However, budget airline Air Arabia rose by 0.8%, continuing its upward trend after Air Arabia Abu Dhabi announced plans to increase its operational capacity by 40% in 2025. The Dubai index saw profit-taking on Friday, but its sustained rally last week has pushed the index to a key resistance level. Next week's corporate earnings may provide the catalyst needed to break through this barrier, said Ahmed Negm, Head of Market Research MENA at Dubai's index went up 4.1% and Abu Dhabi's rose 2% in their fourth week of gains, according to LSEG data. Markets remain steady, supported by positive corporate earnings and stable oil prices, though global developments continue to have an impact on investor confidence, said Ahmed Negm.
