The new interiors feature best-in-class Business suites with privacy doors, upgraded experiences, and a partnership with Armani/Casa for an unparalleled Business class experience. Etihad’s new Business class features the second evolution of the Business Studio, launched on the Airbus A350-1000 last year, taking the guest experience to new heights.

The new Business seats, manufactured by Collins, provide a comfortable and spacious environment with added privacy provided by a suite door. Each of the 32 Business seats has direct aisle access, offering comfort, convenience, and privacy whether travelling individually or with companions. The seats recline to a fully lie-flat-bed 78” in length and feature a 17.3” 4K TV screen, Bluetooth headphone pairing, multiple charging ports and wireless charging, and plenty of storage.

The Economy cabin of the newest 787 Dreamliner will feature 271 seats lighter in weight than the current fleet, making them more fuel-efficient. The intelligent design and adjustments of the seats provide exceptional comfort and an increased feeling of space. Guests can also enjoy an extensive range of entertainment on the 13.3” 4K touch-screen monitor, including a convenient USB charging port.

Etihad has also rolled out new technology upgrades on their Dreamliner, including inflight entertainment from Safran, Rave Ultra 4K monitors, Bluetooth headphone pairing, and the option to pair personal phones and tablets to the screen and use it as a remote. The aircraft is fitted with a new connectivity solution from Viasat using Ka-band technology, which offers high-speed Wi-Fi with streaming capabilities onboard, and Live TV, including news and sports channels.

Etihad has also partnered with Armani/Casa, providing guests an unparalleled Business experience. The range features bespoke dining ware and soft furnishings by celebrated international designer Armani/Casa.

In Economy, Etihad’s new dining service is stylish and part of a closed-loop recycling system, creating a circular economy that removes single-use plastic entirely. The dining equipment has been designed to provide a quality experience for Etihad’s guests while being functional for Etihad’s crew, reducing the operation’s environmental impact.

Etihad’s commitment to providing industry-leading guest experiences is evident with the enhancements rolled out across its fleet. The airline has announced new routes for its network, including Kolkata, Lisbon, Malaga, and Mykonos this summer and Copenhagen and Dusseldorf in the fourth quarter.

As Etihad continues to expand its offerings, its new 787 Dreamliner interiors and upgrades are expected to provide guests with exceptional comfort and unparalleled experiences in the skies.
