Three new Dreamliners join the Etihad fleet
Etihad Airways has just taken delivery of three new Boeing 787-9 aircraft.
The UAE carrier welcomed the latest additions to its fleet and they will begin operations this month.
CEO Antonoaldo Neves said: “Their arrival is key to our network expansion strategy and comes at the perfect time as we continue to add multiple new destinations.”
“These new aircraft support our commitment to Abu Dhabi, allowing us to bring more guests to their end destination or on a stopover.”
The Dreamliners will further bolster Etihad’s fleet as it launches more destinations over the coming months.
Etihad will begin flying to Boston on 31 March, and will add Nairobi and Bali to the network as well as summer routes to Nice, Malaga, Mykonos and Santorini.
The airline added new routes to Osaka, Copenhagen and Dusseldorf in last quarter of 2023, as well as Kozhikode and Thiruvananthapuram in India on New Year’s Day.
Etihad has also expanded with additional flight frequencies and improved connectivity across the network.
The Etihad Boeing’s 787 Dreamliners are up to 25% more fuel efficient than most aircraft of their size.
Etihad now operates 43 Dreamliners with a total fleet of 88 aircraft including the Airbus A380, A350, A320 family, and Boeing 777.
Etihad’s new 787 Dreamliner cabin interior houses 32 Business Suites and 271 seats in Economy, including 54 Extra Legroom seats.
