Etihad Airways has unveiled the cabin for its Airbus A330-900 aircraft, which will enter service in September 2027. The airline will introduce 15 aircraft over five years, deploying them on regional and medium-haul routes across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
The new cabin adopts the “Beyond Borders” cabin and service concept. Its “from sand to superstructure” design draws inspiration from Abu Dhabi’s natural landscape, architecture, and transformation. The cabin features lighting inspired by Etihad’s faceted pattern, while premium seats are upholstered in genuine leather.
First Class will consist of four suites. Each suite will feature a door and space for accompanying passengers to dine or converse. Amenities will include a 32-inch monitor, wireless charging, storage space, and a vanity station stocked with amenities that can be used onboard and taken home.
Business Class will have 24 seats, all forward-facing fully flat seats. They will offer direct aisle access and sliding doors, as well as 17.3-inch monitors, wireless and wired charging, large tables, and storage space.
Economy Class will have 252 seats. They will feature dedicated headrests embossed with the Etihad Airways logo, 13.3-inch 4K touchscreens, and charging facilities. A total of 32 “Extra Legroom” seats, with four inches of additional seat pitch, will be available.
Etihad Airways will also introduce the new design in First Class, Business Class, and Economy Class on its Airbus A321LR aircraft. The airline also plans to expand First Class, increasing the total number of First Class seats across its fleet over the next five years. The Airbus A380’s “First Apartments” and “The Residence” will continue to be retained as iconic features of the Airbus A380.
