Etihad Airways will add the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner Service on its Abu Dhabi to Hong Kong route from next year. The airline flies daily to Hong Kong and the new aircraft model will replace the existing Airbus A330-200 aircraft that currently services the route from March 30, 2019. Featuring next-generation Business and Economy class cabins, the aircraft is configured with 299 seats – 28 business studios and 271 economy smart seats – a capacity increase of 6 seats in Business and 31 in Economy in each direction, plus an increase in belly-hold cargo capacity of 4 tonnes. Hong Kong is the latest route to be added to Etihad Airways’ 787 destination list. Last week, the airline announced plans to introduce the Boeing 787-9 on its scheduled services from Abu Dhabi to Barcelona from Feb 22 next year. <br/>
