Today: <\/strong>Etihad Airways is bringing back the A380 (with The Residence)<\/h5>\n

There’s been much speculation about the return of Etihad’s A380 and its famous The Residence and First Class cabin (read my review here<\/a>). But last week, Etihad Airways -the national carrier of the United Arab Emirates –  finally announced that the airline is bringing back its super-jumbos! The move follows a surge in demand for air travel across the airline\u2019s network and customer feedback for the return of one of the most remarkable commercial flying experiences in the sky.<\/p>\n

Four of the carrier’ super-jumbos will operate between Abu Dhabi and London, with the first to be reintroduced from summer 2023. Etihad is currently preparing the aircraft to fly again, and part of this preparation includes the recruitment and training of A380 teams, including pilots, cabin crew and technical ground staff.<\/p>\n

His Excellency Mohammed Ali Al Shorafa<\/strong>, Chairman, Etihad Aviation Group, said: \u201cIt is wonderful to announce the return of this splendid aircraft. The A380\u2019s reintroduction provides a further boost to Etihad\u2019s capacity into the key UK market, with a knock-on effect for the wider GCC and Indian subcontinent that will bring more visitors to the city of Abu Dhabi.\u201d<\/p>\n

Antonoaldo Neves<\/strong>, Chief Executive Officer, Etihad Airways, said: \u201cWe know this will be welcomed by our guests who love Etihad\u2019s incredible A380 and its award-winning cabins. We have decided the time is right to return some of our A380s into the fleet to satisfy the demand which has made them financially viable once more. We look forward to welcoming our guests again on board this remarkable aircraft.\u201d<\/p>\n

Etihad\u2019s A380s feature The Residence as well as three cabin classes on the double-decker aircraft, including 9 First Apartments, 70 Business Studios and 405 Economy Smart Seats. This includes 80 Economy Space seats with a seat pitch of up to 36 inches.<\/p>\n
