The Etihad Airways Business cabin features the Elements seat, manufactured by Collins, and is the first airline in the world to introduce the Elements seat on the Boeing 787.
Etihad Airways has unveiled its latest cabin interior for its Boeing 787 Dreamliners at the Arabian Travel Market in Dubai this week. The new aircraft will join the fleet in Q3 2023 and will add to the existing 39 Dreamliners operated by the airline. The airline is renowned for its award-winning cabins and exceptional guest experience, and the new Dreamliner cabin interior builds on this reputation with further enhancements.
The Business cabin features the Elements seat, manufactured by Collins, and is the first airline in the world to introduce the Elements seat on the Boeing 787. Each of the 32 Business seats has direct aisle access, and the cabin is designed in a 1-2-1 configuration, offering guests comfort, convenience, and privacy. The seats recline to a fully lie-flat-bed, 78 inches in length, with a 17.3-inch 4K TV screen, Bluetooth headphone pairing, multiple charging ports and wireless charging, as well as plenty of storage.
“Etihad’s new 787 Dreamliner cabin interior showcases further enhancements to our award-winning and industry renowned cabins. Our new Business class takes the guest experience to new heights with the second evolution of the Business Studio which was launched on the Airbus A350-1000 last year,” said Antonoaldo Neves, Chief Executive Officer, Etihad Airways.
In Economy, the newest 787 will feature 271 seats, which are lighter in weight than the current fleet, making them more fuel-efficient. The seats boast exceptional comfort, an increased feeling of space, and an extensive range of entertainment on the 13.3-inch 4K touch-screen monitor, which also includes a convenient USB charging port.
Etihad Airways has focused on the latest inflight entertainment technology from Safran, with new features such as Rave Ultra 4K monitors, Bluetooth headphone pairing, and the option to pair personal phones and tablets to the screen and use as a remote. The 787 Dreamliner is fitted with a new connectivity solution from Viasat using Ka-band technology which offers high-speed Wi-Fi with streaming capabilities on board as well as Live TV, including news and sport channels.
“We remain fully committed to providing industry-leading experiences for our guests, and we’re proud to showcase this here at the Arabian Travel Market. This year is about growth for Etihad – as well as enhancing our guest experience and adding aircraft to our fleet, we’ve announced new routes for our network, including Kolkata last month, Lisbon, Malaga, and Mykonos this summer, and Copenhagen and Dusseldorf in the fourth quarter,” said Antonoaldo Neves, Chief Executive Officer, Etihad Airways.
Etihad’s partnership with Armani/Casa has now fully rolled out across the airline’s Business class cabins, providing guests with an unparalleled Business experience. The range features bespoke dining ware and soft furnishings designed in collaboration with celebrated international designer brand Armani/Casa. Etihad’s new Economy dining service is part of a closed loop recycling system, removing single-use plastic entirely and reducing the impact of the operation on the environment.
