Etihad Airways is set to make waves in the aviation world with plans to unveil a brand-new Airbus A380 route in the near future. The exciting announcement came from the Chief Revenue Officer, Arik De, during the recent Routes World 2024 event in Bahrain. Not stopping there, De shared that another Airbus A380 would be getting back into action after being in storage, soon marking the seventh Etihad A380 in service.
As reported by Pilotcenter.net News, De hinted at the upcoming launch of a fifth A380 route, one that Etihad has never flown with the superjumbo before. This move signifies the airline's commitment to expanding its prestigious A380 operations beyond its current routes to London-Heathrow and JFK in New York from Abu Dhabi's Zayed International Airport.
Exciting developments are on the horizon as a new A380 route to Paris is scheduled to commence in November 2024, followed by flights to Singapore beginning February 1, 2025. Etihad's recent decision to operate the A380 on select routes to India from Abu Dhabi on a temporary basis has been met with enthusiasm from passengers.
The resurgence of the A380 in the aviation industry is evident as more airlines and travelers show a renewed interest in the superjumbo. Etihad's decision to bring back the iconic A380 into service aligns with this trend, reflecting a positive outlook for the future of air travel.
