Etihad’s flagship Airbus A380 has made its debut at Singapore International Airport as the airline works to enhance connections between the UAE and Singapore.
Adding the A380 to the daily service between Abu Dhabi and Singapore makes 700 extra seats per week available.
Etihad’s A380s feature “The Residence”, the world’s only three-room suite in the sky as well as their first-class and business-class cabins, including “The Lobby”, an onboard lounge for first-class passengers.
Arik De, Chief Revenue and Commercial Officer of Etihad Airways said: “As a vibrant and dynamic city, Singapore is always going to be a key destination in our global network. The decision to deploy our much-loved A380 boosts our travel offering between Abu Dhabi and Singapore and highlights our resolve to go beyond by delivering fantastic travel experiences across Etihad’s growing global network.
“Bringing the A380 to Singapore, along with our broader network expansion plans – including increased frequency on key routes – demonstrates our strong growth momentum in Asia. This added capacity reflects the growing demand we’re seeing for travel to and from Singapore.”
The A380s used by Etihad are configured with 486 seats, including The Residence, nine First Apartments, 70 Business Studios, and 405 Economy Smart seats.
