■Etihad Airways Airbus A350-1000
The A350-1000 is equipped with Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines, which reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions more than previous models.
On March 31, 2022, Etihad Airways' first A350-1000 commercial flight took place from Abu Dhabi to Paris.
Currently, Etihad Airways has five A350-1000s, flying between Abu Dhabi and Chicago, Delhi, Zurich, Mumbai, Paris and Tokyo (and will soon fly between Abu Dhabi and Toronto).
Etihad's A350-1000 has smart features such as Bluetooth headset pairing and has eliminated the use of single-use plastics.
In addition, it has low in-flight noise and clever ambient lighting that reduces fatigue and jet lag, so you arrive at your destination feeling refreshed.
Etihad's A350-1000 Business Class has the following key features:
・Forward-facing business suites with privacy door
・79-inch (200.7 cm) fully flat bed and plenty of storage space
・18.5-inch (47 cm) screen at each seat with Bluetooth headset pairing
・Wireless charging port
・Adjustable dining table with book holder and integrated headphone hook
