Etihad Airways starts Airbus A380 flights to New York

UAE – Mubasher: Etihad Airways started operating Airbus A380 double-decker aircraft with the first flight arriving at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York from Abu Dhabi.

The addition of the A380 has boosted Etihad's capacity in the US market, allowing for attracting more visitors to the UAE’s capital, according to the Emirates News Agency (WAM).

Antonoaldo Neves, CEO of Etihad Airways, said: "We are thrilled to introduce our A380 experience to New York, confident that our guests will relish the exceptional onboard journey.”

"Introducing the A380 to the popular New York route aligns with our strategy to meet increasing customer demand and expand our network. It comes just three weeks after we launched our new route to Boston, our fourth US gateway, underlining our commitment to serving and growing the North American market,” Neves added.

Flight activity to the UAE has been increasing. Earlier this week, British Airways resumed flights to Zayed International Airport in Abu Dhabi.
