Etihad Airways expands 787 network
Etihad Airways plans to substantially expand Boeing 787 routes over the coming year. The carrier currently has 10 787-9s on strength, with a further 9 scheduled to arrive this year. Etihad will eventually have a fleet of 71 787s, comprising 41 787-9s and 30 of the larger 787-10 models, as the wide-bodied twinjet becomes the airline’s flagship long-haul aircraft. Etihad will start to introduce this year’s 787s on routes from March 1. They will serve the Jordanian and Lebanese capitals of Amman and Beirut on daily, year-round services, with the 3 Far East destinations of Beijing, Shanghai and Seoul joining the roster. Additionally, Athens will be served on a seasonal basis. The 787-9s are outfitted in a 2-class, 299-seat layout, with 28 “business studios” and 271 “economy smart” seats. <br/>
