Etihad receives first Airbus A380

Today, Etihad Airways from Abu Dhabi has taken delivery of the first of ten Airbus A380 super jumbo's. Etihad is the thirteenth airline to operate the A380, and the aircraft is the 150th A380 delivered by Airbus.

With the aircraft Etihad intends to boost capacity on several of its busiest routes. Etihad’s A380 seats 498 passengers in four "living spaces", including two VIP passengers in The Residence by Etihad (a three-room cabin in the sky), nine in the First Apartments, 70 in the Business Studio, and 417 in Economy SmartSeats.

Etihad’s first A380 will make its debut on the popular London Heathrow route, from Abu Dhabi International Airport, in December. By the end of 2015, Etihad Airways will have five A380s in operation, with plans to introduce the aircraft on the airline’s Sydney and New York JFK routes.
