■Etihad Airways Airbus A3501000
The A3501000 is equipped with RollsRoyce Trent XWB engines, which reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions more than previous models.
On March 31, 2022, Etihad Airways' first A3501000 commercial flight took place from Abu Dhabi to Paris.
Currently, Etihad Airways has five A3501000s, flying between Abu Dhabi and Chicago, Delhi, Zurich, Mumbai, Paris and Tokyo (and will soon fly between Abu Dhabi and Toronto).
Etihad's A3501000 has smart features such as Bluetooth headset pairing and has eliminated the use of singleuse plastics.
In addition, it has low inflight noise and clever ambient lighting that reduces fatigue and jet lag, so you arrive at your destination feeling refreshed.
Etihad's A3501000 Business Class has the following key features:
・Forwardfacing business suites with privacy door
・79inch (200.7 cm) fully flat bed and plenty of storage space
・18.5inch (47 cm) screen at each seat with Bluetooth headset pairing
・Wireless charging port
