Etihad Airways was established in 2003 and serves as the official airline of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, operating from Abu Dhabi International Airport. With a mix of narrow and wide-body Airbus and Boeing planes, Etihad has an expanding range of services to destinations in the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Asia, North America, and Australia. Etihad Airways has a fleet of 122 passenger and cargo aircraft, which is among the youngest in the world. These aircraft serve over 110 existing or announced destinations for both passengers and cargo in 62 countries.
Economy Class
Etihad’s Economy Seat prioritizes comfort and is equipped with adjustable back support and headrests. Its cradle recline feature promotes a more natural position for your back allowing you to unwind easily. Passengers also receive full sized fleece blankets, unique pillows that convert into neck pillows for longer flights, and blanket bags that double as personal belonging storage on extended journeys. On long-haul flights, a personal amenity kit is provided, including socks, a toothbrush, toothpaste, and earplugs. Furthermore passengers can use a handy ‘Do not disturb/Wake me up to eat’ eye-mask to notify the cabin staff of their meal preferences.
Etihad Airways provides complimentary meals in all cabin classes on its entire network with all meals served being Halal. Passengers can choose from up to three main meal options and a bar service that includes both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. In April 2019, Etihad introduced a new meal concept for economy class where the salad and appetiser were removed to allow for larger main meal portions.
Business Class
During a long haul flight passengers can relax in a seat that fully reclines into a flat bed, complete with full-size comforters and pillows. The adjustable headrest, back support, and cushion firmness along with mood lighting that creates a calming atmosphere, all contribute to a comfortable sleep experience. On top of that features include an in-seat massage function and personal lighting which can be controlled with the touch of a button. Business Class passengers receive a limited edition amenity kit with designs inspired by iconic cities from Etihad’s global network. Each kit includes a personalized Etihad Airways LUXE City Guide.
Business class passengers have access to an extensive á la carte menu, with the guidance of onboard chefs and Food and Beverage Managers. All-day dining options are available on longer flights that allow passengers to order up to 10 items whenever they prefer such as cereals, yoghurt, steak sandwiches, ice cream, fruit, cookies, and more.
The starters menu offers a choice of Arabic or Western options, and passengers can select from four main meal options. The meal service also includes cheese and a selection of three desserts.
