Etihad Airways unveils its first B787 and A380

The doors to the airline’s two new flagship aircraft – in the distinctive new ‘Facets of Abu Dhabi’ livery – were opened for the first time to reveal the new cabin interiors, which include the ultra-luxurious Residence by Etihad™, the only three-room suite in the sky. 

Etihad Airways also unveiled a new cabin crew uniform at a spectacular catwalk fashion show. It’s the first major uniform re-launch since the airline’s formation in 2003 and incorporates the same colours used for the cabin interior and new aircraft livery. 

James Hogan, Etihad Airways’ president and chief executive officer, said: “As we have done so many times in our short history, we are reshaping the landscape of modern air travel in our own way. 

“Today is the culmination of many years of hard work and tremendous endeavour by hundreds of people both in our airline and outside. 

“With the launch of these aircraft, we usher in a new era of unparalleled luxury, comfort and service. These innovations represent our vision for the future.”
