See inside Etihad's giant Airbus A380 that is flying to the US again after being nearly forced into retirement
24.04.2024 - 10:25 / insider.com / Airlines
Etihad Airways has finally reintroduced its beloved Airbus A380 superjumbo on flights to the US after years of uncertainty.
Purchased as an ultra-long-haul workhorse to connect its Abu Dhabi hub with far-away international destinations, the A380 first flew to New York in 2015 but left when the pandemic halted travel in 2020.
The COVID-19 crisis exacerbated already growing problems with fuel-hungry, quad-engine planes, prompting Etihad to consider retiring the jet. Other carriers like Air France and Thai Airways had already sent their A380s to the boneyard.
Etihad didn't follow through, however, instead deciding to re-launch the plane on flights to London last summer due to strong post-pandemic demand.
The airline has since moved one of those A380 flight to New York to up capacity at JFK — competing with rival five-star carrier Emirates' luxe A380 superjumbo already flying to the airport.
Here's what passengers can expect when flying Etihad in economy, business, first class, and its three-room "The Residence" suite.
