Etihad shows new livery on Boeing 787

Etihad Airways has unveiled its new 'Facets of Abu Dhabi' livery on the airline's first Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner. The aircraft was rolled out of the Boeing paint shop in Everett today. The 787 will play a key role in Etihad Airways' fleet and network expansion plans.

The Abu Dhabi-based airline is one of the world's largest 787 customers with a total of 71 Dreamliners on order, including 41 787-9s and 30 787-10s. Etihad's first Dreamliner will be delivered later this year. The first routes on which the aircraft is going to be introduced are Düsseldorf, Doha, Washington D.C., Mumbai, Brisbane and Moscow.
