Etihad Airways has introduced Airbus A321LR, a new aircraft that would fly passengers between Zayed International Airport, Abu Dhabi (AUH) and Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport, Kolkata (CCU), beginning September 26 this year.

Equipped with luxury first suites, fully lie-flat business seats, and a cutting-edge economy class featuring ultra-modern 4K touchscreens and high-speed Wi-Fi, the aircraft is set to offer an upgraded travel experience across all cabin classes. Airbus A321LR is designed with enhanced space, privacy, and premium amenities.

The first suites have forward-facing fully-flat beds in a 1-1 configuration, while business class features 14 lie-flat seats for maximum comfort on medium-haul routes. Economy class passengers also have comfortable seating with advanced in-flight entertainment and connectivity.

Arik De, Etihad’s Chief Revenue and Commercial Officer, said that India was a key market for Etihad, and they were delighted to elevate their Kolkata service with the latest A321LR aircraft. “With this upgrade, our guests can now enjoy a superior travel experience, whether in our luxurious first suites, business class lie-flat seats, or next-generation economy cabin. This investment underlines our ongoing commitment to providing world-class service and greater connectivity across the Indian subcontinent,” he said. – editor@nrifocus.com
