Etihad Airways introduces B 787 on Abu Dhabi/Beirut route

Airways has introduced the next generation Boeing 787-9 on its scheduled daily service from Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), to Beirut, Lebanon.

The new 787 Dreamliner service replaces the Airbus A321 aircraft previously operating the airline’s EY535/EY538 flights to and from the Lebanese capital.

The Boeing 787-9 features Etihad Airways’ next-generation Business and Economy Class cabins and is configured with 299 seats – 28 Business Studios and 271 Economy Smart Seats.

Speaking on the development, Mohammad Al Bulooki, Etihad Airways Executive Vice President Commercial, said “Beirut was the first international destination served by Etihad Airways in 2003 and it is fitting that we introduce the state-of-the-art 787 Dreamliner to this key market today.”

The new two-class 787-9 provides an increase of 125 seats per flight, with 4,186 weekly seats now offered in both directions.
