The world’s largest passenger aircraft, the Airbus A380, brings Etihad's celebrated inflight features to the Singapore route, including The Residence – hailed as the world’s only three-room suite in the sky. The upper deck also features The Lobby, an exclusive lounge area for First and Business class guests.
Arik De, chief revenue and commercial officer, Etihad Airways, said, "As a vibrant and dynamic city, Singapore is always going to be a key destination in our global network. The decision to deploy our much-loved A380 boosts our travel offering between Abu Dhabi and Singapore and highlights our resolve to go beyond by delivering fantastic travel experiences across Etihad’s growing global network.
The UAE and Singapore enjoy robust ties across multiple sectors, including trade, culture, and business, and the route caters to leisure travellers as well as providing strong business connections, particularly in sectors like aviation, energy, and technology.
The A380 increases the route's capacity by 28 percent, offering 486 seats, including The Residence, nine First Apartments, 70 Business Studios, and 405 Economy Smart seats.
