Etihad is bringing back Airbus A380s, along with the residence and the first apartment!

Etihad Airways relaunches flights to Kolkata

During the pandemic, Etihad Airways’ 10 Airbus A380s were parked. As per report, the airline’s CEO said they would probably never take flight again. That’s unfortunate because they had the best travel experience on this particular plane. The biggest passenger jet in the world has the best amenities and seats from several airlines.

Until the Abu Dhabi-based carrier receives delivery of the brand-new wide-body aircraft currently on order from Boeing and Airbus, he stated that any intention to bring back the Airbus A380 would only be temporary. There is no first-class cabin on their new business class Airbus A350s. Currently,  Now there’s a report that they’ll bring back 3 A380s next year, operating to London, Sydney, and Paris from Abu Dhabi.

When Etihad received its first Airbus A380, it debuted its “Apartment,” which is actually a room with a separate seat and bed, and a shower available in the cabin for first-class customers. It was undoubtedly the best first class in the world at the time, however, some people now prefer Emirates’ new first suite, Singapore Airlines’ new A380 Suites, or ANA’s new first class.

Each resident had a personal butler, who was required to serve the Residence in butler dress and had received training at the Savoy Hotel in the United Kingdom. Based on advance requests, Etihad would tailor what they would provide for a Residence guest. The butler served as the flight attendant on board the residence when there were no people scheduled to stay there. With the exception of the A380, however, the fact that they may have eliminated first-class chefs, the first-class suites on the few aircraft are quite amazing.
