As the world's largest passenger airliner manufactured by Airbus, the A380 will resume flights to New York starting Summer 2024, offering passengers unparalleled comfort and luxury in the skies.
At the heart of Etihad Airways' A380 offering is its iconic 'The Residence,' a three-room suite that epitomizes opulence and exclusivity. With a private living room, bedroom, and ensuite bathroom complete with a shower, 'The Residence' promises an unparalleled level of luxury for discerning travelers.
The reintroduction of the A380 on the Abu Dhabi-New York route signifies Etihad Airways' commitment to facilitating seamless travel between the United States, regions under the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), and the Indian subcontinent. New York becomes the second destination for Etihad Airways' A380, following London, as the superjumbo jet returns to the skies post-pandemic.
Commencing April 22, 2024, the A380 will operate daily flights from Abu Dhabi International Airport (Zayed International Airport) to New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport. This service will complement the existing Etihad aircraft serving the Abu Dhabi-New York route, offering passengers increased options and flexibility in their travel plans.
The A380 features four main cabins, including Economy Class, Business Class, First Class, and The Residence, ensuring a comfortable journey for all passengers. The lower deck accommodates Economy Class with 337 seats, including 68 extra legroom seats, while the upper deck features 'The Lobby,' Business Class, First Class, and 'The Residence,' offering a total of 70 private spaces.
Passengers have the option to upgrade from First Class to 'The Residence' at the standard rate of USD 4,520 per person, one-way, as announced by Etihad in its official statement on A380 flights on the Abu Dhabi-New York JFK route. This offering reflects Etihad Airways' commitment to providing passengers with unparalleled luxury and personalized travel experiences.
As the A380 takes to the skies once again on the Abu Dhabi-New York route, passengers can look forward to a journey characterized by comfort, luxury, and exceptional service. Etihad Airways continues to set the standard for premium air travel, reaffirming its position as a leading player in the aviation industry.
