Etihad Airways has deployed the Boeing 787-9 on its Abu Dhabi-Perth service. Inaugural flight EY486 took off from Abu Dhabi at 10.30pm Wednesday and touched down in Perth at about 1:50pm Thursday.
The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner features Etihad Airways’ next-generation Business and Economy Class cabins. With 299 seats, it delivers 14 per cent more capacity than the Airbus A330-200 it replaces.
The Etihad Airways B787-9 Dreamliner features the airline’s highly acclaimed next-generation interiors with 28 Business Studios and 271 Economy Smart Seats.
The onboard décor and lighting have been inspired by contemporary modern Arabian design, complementing the airline’s eye-catching ‘Facets of Abu Dhabi’ livery.
The 28 Business Studios feature direct aisle access, fully flat bed of up to 80.5 inches long, in-seat massage and pneumatic cushion control system, 18-inch personal touch-screen TV and noise-cancelling headsets.
The 271 Economy Smart Seats provide enhanced comfort with a unique ‘fixed wing’ headrest on each seat, adjustable lumbar support, a seat width of approximately 19 inches, and an 11.1” personal TV monitor.
The Dreamliner fleet features the latest Panasonic eX3 entertainment system which provides more than 750 hours of on-demand entertainment including seven live TV channels, improved gaming and high definition screens across all cabins.
The aircraft has full mobile and Wi-Fi service, with USB and power points at every seat.

Wow! Stunning! Hilton seems to be taking Africa by storm. Just a couple of years back, they opened the first ever in Eswatini.
Wonderful event and topics discussed, hopefully we see the manifestations in our African airline businesses in the nearest future. Kudos to you all.
