The Abu Dhabi-based carrier will use the A380 on one of the four daily round-trip flights on the Abu Dhabi-Bangkok Suvarnabhumi route (EY402/EY403) starting October 25.
Etihad currently uses a mix of Boeing 787 Dreamliner, 777-300ER, and Airbus A321neo aircraft on its flights between Abu Dhabi and Bangkok. The introduction of the A380 on the Abu Dhabi-Bangkok route comes ahead of the peak winter travel season, supporting sustained demand for travel between Thailand, the Middle East, and Europe.
“We’ve seen huge excitement around where our next A380 would fly – and Bangkok has been one of the most requested destinations,” said Arik De, Chief Revenue and Commercial Officer, Etihad Airways. “It’s a city that blends energy, culture and world-class hospitality, making it the perfect match for our flagship aircraft.”
Onboard, Etihad's A380 features the airline's premium cabin products offering privacy such as the three-room suites The Residence, First Apartments, lounge, and fully-lie flat Business Class seats.
“With the A380 flying to Bangkok, we’re offering greater choice and significant additional capacity on one of our most popular leisure routes. Guests can immerse themselves in Thailand’s beaches and vibrant city life, or choose to extend their trip with a stopover in Abu Dhabi – turning one holiday into two and discovering everything our home city has to offer.”
Etihad currently operates its A380 to the following destinations: London, Toronto, Paris, and Singapore.
