Etihad Airways has upgraded its premium travel offering on flights between Abu Dhabi and two major Indian cities, Mumbai and New Delhi, as part of its network expansion.
Flight upgrades
The airline now operates four daily flights to both Mumbai and New Delhi. This includes the introduction of the Airbus A321LR twice a day on each route, alongside two daily wide-body services.
With this change, all premium cabin passengers on these routes will have access to lie-flat seats with direct aisle access and enhanced onboard services.
Arik De, Etihad’s Chief Revenue and Commercial Officer, said: “This is a major upgrade on our flights connecting Abu Dhabi to Mumbai and New Delhi, which demonstrates our commitment to the strategically important Indian market where we serve 11 gateways.
“Guests travelling to and from both cities can now enjoy a true First experience throughout their entire journey when connecting from these cities to global destinations like London, Paris, Zurich, Geneva, New York and Toronto. Likewise, our Business guests will enjoy lie-flat seats and a premium experience with luxury amenities, fine dining and hospitality on all flights connecting Mumbai and New Delhi.”
Cabin features
The Airbus A321LR introduces two private First Suites with sliding doors, designed for privacy and comfort. Seats convert into fully flat beds and include a 20-inch 4K screen, wireless charging and Bluetooth connectivity.
The Business cabin includes 14 lie-flat seats with direct aisle access. In Economy, the aircraft has 144 seats with ergonomic design and 4K touchscreens offering a range of entertainment, including Bollywood and Hollywood content.
First Deluxe and Business Deluxe passengers will also receive ground services such as chauffeur transfers. First Deluxe guests will have access to concierge support and airport meet-and-assist services.
