Etihad upgrades

ETIHAD, the State airline of Abu Dhabi, has not only upgraded its executive lounge at Heathrow, but has also introduced the first of its highly-anticipated new First Class suites on to the Airbus A340-600 route between London and the Emirates.  A second aircraft joins the fleet later this month and the product will also be provided on a further five Airbus A330-300s progressively being delivered.  The airline will also retrofit nine Airbus A340 aircraft that are currently in service by December 2010.  The state-of-the-art suite provides First Class customers with a private cabin including an 80.5” flat bed.  Within the First Class cabin there is also a large and luxurious changing room with a full length mirror, wash basin and leather fold-down seat allowing customers to freshen up at any time during the flight.  The new Heathrow lounge will open when the airline moves from T3 to T4 on 30 September. www.etihadairways.com
