Etihad Airways said it had just added a new superjumbo jet to its fleet, the Airbus A380, which is touted as the world’s largest commercial passenger plane.
Etihad announced the delivery of its tenth Airbus A380 at the European planemaker’s plant in Germany which, similar to its previously acquired superjumbos, also features luxurious “accommodations” in the air, including a private suite with a living room, a shower and a bedroom.
Dubbed "The Residence," first launched a few years earlier, the three-room suite is the only accommodation of its kind on a commercial airline, designed for two passengers travelling together.
Guests who book this room can fly in comfort, with the living area featuring a luxurious leather double-seat sofa, two dining tables and a 32-inch flat-screen TV.
Etihad first introduced its luxurious private cabins in 2014.
The Abu Dhabi-based airline operates its Airbus A380s on flights from the UAE capital to London, Sydney and New York. Starting July 1, the superjumbo will be serving the Paris route as well.
