Etihad Airways will introduce its A380 to Bangkok for the first time this October, bringing The Residence, the world’s only three-room suite in the sky, to Thailand and increasing capacity on one of its most popular leisure routes.
The aircraft will operate on Etihad’s
evening daily service between Abu Dhabi’s Zayed International Airport (AUH) and
Bangkok (BKK), further strengthening connectivity between Southeast Asia, the
Middle East and Europe.
Arik De, Chief Revenue and Commercial
Officer, Etihad Airways, said: “We’ve seen huge excitement around where our
next A380 would fly – and Bangkok has been one of the most requested
destinations. It’s a city that blends energy, culture and world-class
hospitality, making it the perfect match for our flagship aircraft.
“The A380 transforms the journey into part
of the holiday itself. From The Residence – the world’s only three-room suite
in the sky – and our private First Apartments, to the spacious Business
lie-flat seats and thoughtfully enhanced Economy cabin, every guest experiences
something special onboard.
“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.” -TradeArabia News Service
