A Deep-Dive Into The Fleet Of Etihad Airways In 2022
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 вер 2024
- Over the past few years, the fleet of Etihad Airways has gone through quite a transformation. The airline no longer operates the Airbus A330, A340 or A380, and on the Boeing side, the 777-200LR is no longer an active type while the 777-300ER is being phased out. While an ongoing theme for most airlines is that the pandemic was responsible for large swathes of fleet retirements, it's not as much the case for Etihad. Today, we look at the airline's fleet in 2022 and how exactly it got to this point.

Hello dear viewers! Two updates/clarifications!
1) Yes, at 1:02 we made a mistake. It should definitely be A350-1000 and not the A350-900. Thanks to everyone who pointed it out!
2) Since this video was produced, Etihad has announced that it will bring back the A380! From Summer 2023, the iconic A380s will make their return with 4x super-jumbos launched for service to London. More information can be found here: simpleflying.com/etihad-announces-the-return-of-airbus-a380/
Finally.
there is another mistake at 2:40
Wow. Do you find it embarrassing that you made such a silly mistake?
@@lIII0IIIl are you talking to me?
@@iamgeek01 No dude. I’m talking to the OP.
A350-1000 is my favourite plane in Etihad airways fleet
Flown that in VA livery, awesome plane👏🏻👏🏻
Could you please explain exactly what it is about the A350-1000 that makes it your favorite? Enquiring minds want to know.
Better than the 777 for the next experience!
A380 is mine!
I flew Etihad in May on a 787-9 from Chicago to Abu Dhabi and again on a Dreamliner to Kochi, India. Then on the return to Abu Dhabi I flew an a321 and another 787-9 Dreamliner back to Chicago.
If I had taken my trip even a month later, Etihad would have used the a350-1000 on the Chicago-Abu Dhabi route.
Just flew their B787 in First, absolutely loved it.
The a380 is coming back in May for etihad and there are only 10 grounded aircrafts as of this moment, glad to see etihad gradually recovering.
I think my brother flew on one of their A380s when he went to Australia in 2013. I noticed formula one logos on some of the planes. When McLaren tweeted a photo of the plane they were flying home from Abu Dhabi on recently, it was an Ethihad Boeing 787.
You need to update this video already, 4x A380 jets are returning to passenger service from Summer 2023 to service the AUH to LHR route. You welcome 🙏🏻
Alhamdulilah
Intersting video , all airlines will park out their heavy aircrafts? From what i see.
when did Etihad have a350-900? I think you wanted to say -1000
Yes thank you!
I’ve been a regular EY flyer since 2012, so I’ve sampled every passenger type they have. It pains me to say since I work on Boeing aircraft that I prefer the A350 over the 787. Two words, window shades. I recently did their daytime AUH-JFK flight. Everyone in the biz cabin had their window shades down. It was dark as a cave for the majority of the flight. Wouldn’t get that in a 787.
Hey, I’m part of the crew. Some crew lock the windows on dark (which I disagree with, u should always let the pax decide).. in that case you can ask the crew to unlock 😊 hope this helps!
Otherwise, maximizing pax rest time is the reason on ULR flights they usually dim the cabin.
Cheers
I really don't matter for the 787 window, In fact if that happens, I will still be happy and enjoy the Dreamliner. Also, Remember Boeing did for the good porpoise to dimmed the window when is need it, for example sleep. If that happens, if explain how the Crew is( I always sai it, if all depends of the airline)
Etihad Airways Fleet is one of most interesting airline fleets that i've ever read in my internet. While their A380s remains grounded, i am sure they would considered of bringing back their Superjumbos if travel demand suddenly rise up quick than later.
Today Etihad has announced that they will bring back their A380s in Summer 2023!
Could you do this same video with Finnair's fleet.
Yes it will be coming soon!
@@LongHaulbySimpleFlying Nice
B787 hands down soon, it’ll be the B777x
I’ve flown on Etihad in 2014 and 2015 on their A330. Tbh the flights were not too bad but back then the quality was low.
I do miss Etihad
And just today the announced the reactivation of 4 A380
Not because im a member of the star alliance group but personally for me and have in mind i always fly economy. Hands down the best airline to go to the middle east is turkish airlines. Dont mind the stop at Istanbul. Best airline hands down. Turkish airlines
They've just announced the return of the A380 from the summer 2023! 🥳
I still remember when I was 7 I saw an Etihad airways a380 . It was a nice experience since I had just been on an 8 hour flight with an empty stomach.
Five A350-1000s*
yes
Just flew Etihad for the first time on their 787-9 and was really impressed.
I’ve been talking to an etihad pilot the other day and I’m pretty sure we can confirm the a380 is coming back as he received an email by the company
More 787 planes for Etihad ❤️ hopefully they fully operate only 787 for long haul. Much more efficient and comfortable plane
Nah,A350 is far better and much more efficient on long haul
@@qasimasharfi9527 oh really? So that is why there are far more Dreamliners than A350 flying long haul? More operators flying the Dreamliner than A350. Ahhh so you say A350s are more efficient? You make me laugh dude.
@@potxiusupfotalongkorn3237 Bruh,You're hilarious.You know nothing about aviation.Go do some research.More 787 operators doesn't mean anything and doesn't mean that it's better.Also 787 launched in 2009 while A350 in 2014.Before spitting random shit,think again or do some research.Let's talk about the issues that B787 faced:Battery issues,engine issues,paint peeling issues.Boeing can do only bragging rather than fixing it's problems
Definitely on of the best ways to travel!
Etihad are so underrated bro
😊
As soon as this is posted haha! 4 A380’s will be reactivated in 2023!!
i think its the A350-1000 not the -900
cmiiw
Air Algerie fleet video please!🙏🏻
I'm definitely sad Etihad left the a380. Fingers crossed 🤞🤞 they will reactivate them.
Etihad is reactivating their A380s and they will re-enter service in 2023
@@heidirabenau511 YES
I flew FRA-AUH-NRT and return on Etihad this year. Plane was fine, IFE is good, but Abu Dhabi airport is a dud. Not great
Why did you not mention the connection between Etihad and Air Serbia?
You forgot they removed their 747s -400 and -8
Etihad have sold all A320 and A321 to ADNOC and released them until 2024 is when the will be phased out
Hi so now in 2024 February the A380 is now in service to London
Please do SAS
Yes do SAS
that's wrong simple flying .''etihad operates a350-1000s not 900s''😮💨@Long Haul by Simple flying
Yes thank you!
Actually i was eagerly waiting this fleet of etihad airways .. Great video. Actually please do these type of videos for other asian airlines
I have flown both of the UAE airlines. In ecomony class hands down emirates is way ahead of etihad. Im comparing the economy class not first class have that in mind. I when miami to new york. New york to abu dhabi in economy class in etihad. Then i flew back dubai to miami in economy class with emirates and belive me is a different world even flying economy
Wait until you see the new economy of Etihad launching soon. I don't understand the metrics on how people compare Etihad and Emirates economy. EY economy products are way better than EK. For example, Emirates only offer 1 brand of beer wherein Etihad has 2 brands. they have more hard drink choices even as they have scotch, vodka, rum & gin. Emirates doens't have rum....a lot of things.....now Etihad wil start serving champagne and cappuccino in economy.....It's incomparable to my humble opinion
Delta
Honestly I don’t like etihads fleet. I feel like the A380 should be returned.
Etihad has cut its routes, now there aren’t even any routes to Brisbane anymore…
It makes sense they’ve phased out old planes like a340’s but personally I loved the A330’s and A340’s and of course the A380…
Which is sad those jets are now either obsolete or phasing out.
I heard they are bring back the A380
A380 is back at Etihad, officially stated
Etihad needs to return to LAX and SFO as their a350, a380 and 787 have the range
I hope etihad own 50 A350-1000 aahhhh so Good Looking
I wouldn't fly Etihad again for now. Its Dreamliner is very uncomfortable in economy, food onflight is deplorable and the transit at AUH is harrendous; super packed, no place to sit and chaotic flight operations. They will announce gate about one hour before departure but the seatings are not available anywhere in common areas, except at the gates. I'd avoid Etihad for now.
retiring the A380-800 fleet & B777-300 ER is a big mistake, inspite of Etihad's dire financial position . . . other aspiring full service carriers could acquire the 13 ex-Etihad A380-800 & 11 B777-300 ER airframes . . . acquiring the B777-200 LR could be beneficial for any full service carrier because it has the range & capability to operate on ultra long haul routes . . . for e.g. Mumbai (BOM) - Sao Paulo (GRU) or Delhi (DEL) - Sydney (SYD) non-stop . . . the only other wide body jet that can match it's range is the A350-900 ULR & A340-500 HGW (back during it's heydays) . . . Boeing's B777-8 & B777-9 could seriously do without the folding wing tips . . .
Nope i wasn't a mistake. No one is going to buy the 380 and the 777-300ERs will probably end up being converted to freighters.
Well! Delhi-Sydney route doesn't need a 777-200LR. Air India is doing with 787-8 already. Delhi-Dallas / Delhi-Houston would be the possible potential routes which require the LR or ULR aircraft. Air India may consider taking the ex-Etihad planes just like they've been getting the ex-Delta 777-200LR aircraft to increase capacity on the routes to North America.
@@hjr0021 Dallas is highly unlikely. They don't have a connecting partner there that would be required to support that route. Even IAH is unlikely since the partnership with UA isn't very strong. UA would rather send it's connecting traffic to India to EK given their new agreement, as would AA to QR
@@johniii8147 In future, if the point-to-point traffic between DEL and DFW/IAH is considerable due to the growing number of Indian expats, there may be some flights by Air India, bcoz DEL also offers connections to the Indian cities as well as to the neighbouring countries.
@@hjr0021 Both are still a fraction of the population in NYC area, SFO, Chicago etc. That's why you see the planed flights going to where they are.
haha, they need to update the video now. They will return back 4x A380s for the 2023 summer
0:10 this didn’t age well
Will Etihad cancel their 777X order?
Dont try to use this airlines. Recently I was travelling with Etihad from Auckland to Mumbai via Melbourne and Abu Dhabi and as a same return journey but both side havent received my luggage bag. We waited 4 to 5 working days and there is no apology from anyone..... what's a sh....
5:18
Can u please dkthe saudia fleet
The A340-600 in the F1 livery still is one of the most beautiful planes ever imo.
I’m still waiting for fleet of qatar airways of 2022
A350-1000s*
Worst Airline in history......I travelled recently with Ethiad!!!!.....A321 Worst, and uncomfortable airline!!!!....I will never again fly with Ethiad....
oooh I'm the 3rd comment
Lol, you're fourth
Etihad is calling former pilots for the a380 so seems like they'll come back
