Etihad Airways, Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, has unveiled a sweeping range of category re-defining product and service offerings on its new Airbus A380 and Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircrafts, including The Residence by Etihad™, the world’s most luxurious living space in the air, available only on its A380 aircraft.

The The Residence by Etihad™ offering consists of a breath-taking and completely new forward upper-deck cabin on the aircraft. Accommodating single or double occupancy, it features a living room, separate double bedroom and ensuite shower room. Guests in The Residence will also have a personal Butler.

James Hogan, Etihad Airways’ President and Chief Executive Officer, said: “These new living spaces will raise inflight product and service standards to their highest level yet in commercial aviation and alter air travellers’ expectations of inflight comfort and luxury forever."

Etihad's A380 will also feature the revolutionary First Apartments, which are fully private suites with a separate reclining lounge seat and full-length bed, as well as a chilled mini-bar, personal vanity unit and wardrobe. Each First Apartment, which has a 64 inch high sliding door, includes a reclining armchair and a full-length ottoman, both upholstered by Poltrona Frau. The ottoman transforms into a separate 80 inch long fully flatbed.

The First Apartment, which also includes unique features such as a chilled mini-bar, a personal vanity unit and a swiveling TV monitor for viewing from either the seat or the bed, has a 74 per cent larger footprint than the airline’s current award-winning First Class Suites.
