ABU DHABI UAE, 12 May 2022: Etihad Airways unveiled its new\neconomy class soft furnishings and tableware, which will be launched during\nthis year’s fourth quarter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The announcement was made on the opening day of the Arabian\nTravel Market, a trade event for the travel and tourism industry taking place\nthis week in Dubai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The economy class experience will be upgraded with new soft\nfurnishings, including a 35% larger pillow with a 200 thread-count cotton cover\nmade locally in the UAE. This is complemented by a soft blanket made from\nrecycled plastic for additional comfort on all flights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Etihad’s new dining experience features reusable tableware\nmade from high-quality recycled plastic and eliminates the use of single-use\nplastic. The tray, serving plates, and their lids are part of a closed-loop\nrecycling system. At the end of their lifecycle, they are collected, washed,\nground and reused to make new replacement products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Etihad is also introducing quality stainless-steel cutlery\ninto the economy cabin, which upgrades the experience and reduces single-use\nplastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2019, Etihad committed to removing 80% of single-use\nplastic from its operation by the end of 2022. Introducing this new inflight\nequipment ensures the airline meets this sustainability goal. Where possible,\nEtihad is also moving towards locally produced items which will further improve\nthe overall environmental impact of the operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Economy seating features its signature fixed-wing headrest,\nwhich provides optimal support for a relaxing travel experience. The airline\nalso offers seats with an additional 4″ of legroom as an upgrade option.\nIn addition, Etihad’s passengers may choose neighbour-free seating for an\nadditional fee, which offers extra privacy and comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This new launch follows the unveiling of the new Airbus\nA350-1000 aircraft, which entered into service in March and is the first of\nfive A350-1000’s to join the Etihad fleet this year. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
