Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, has unveiled a raft of new Business Class products and enhancements. The airline has revealed the new interior for its Boeing 787 Dreamliners that will join the fleet this year adding to the 39 Dreamliners it already operates.
The Business Class cabin will feature a new Suite – which will provide guests with a comfortable and spacious environment with added privacy provided by a suite door. The height of the suite has been further increased from the A350’s debut model, offering even greater privacy.
Each of the 32 Business seats has direct aisle access with the cabin designed in a 1-2-1 configuration offering comfort, convenience and privacy whether travelling individually or with companions. The seats recline to a fully lie-flat-bed 78”(198 centimetres) in length and feature a 17.3” (44 cms) 4K TV screen, Bluetooth headphone pairing, multiple charging ports and wireless charging, as well as plenty of storage.
The new 787 Dreamliner provides the latest in inflight entertainment technology including the option to pair personal phones and tablets to the screen and use as a remote. The aircraft also has high-speed Wi-Fi.
Etihad’s partnership with Armani/Casa has now fully rolled out across the airline’s Business Class cabins. The range features bespoke dining ware and soft furnishings designed in collaboration with celebrated international designer brand Armani/Casa.
The airline expects to take delivery of the three new Boeing 787 Dreamliners in this autumn.
