Etihad has announced the reintroduction of its A380 fleet after a surge in demand from its customers.
Four of the super-jumbos will operate between Abu Dhabi and London, with the first to be reintroduced from summer 2023.
Etihad’s A380s feature The Residence as well as three cabin classes on the double-decker aircraft, including 9 First Apartments, 70 Business Studios, 405 Economy Smart Seats, and 80 Economy Space seats with a seat pitch of up to 36 inches.
The First Apartments, set across a single aisle, offer a private living space with a large leather lounge chair and an ottoman which opens up to become a separate 80.5″ long fully-flat bed.
The First Apartment is one of the most spacious in its class and also offers a 24″ swivelling LCD TV monitor and personal vanity unit.
For the first time, Etihad plans to eventually offer The Residence as an optional extra for guests to further enhance their First experience.
The Lobby, available to guests in First and Business class, is a serviced lounge and bar area located between the two cabins, featuring leather sofas, refreshments and a large TV with a USB connection.
Etihad expects to return four of its A380s to the fleet in the summer of 2023, with plans to operate to London Heathrow.
The A380s’ return will be supported by the addition of five of their smaller A320 siblings.
