New Etihad Airways first class suite enters service

Abu Dhabi, Aug 30, 2009 (WAM) - Etihad Airways has introduced its highly-anticipated new first class suite into service, marking a new era in luxury air travel. The new product on board the airline's latest Airbus A340-600 is now operating between Abu Dhabi and London Heathrow.
The state-of-the-art private suite provides first class customers with an extra-large leather seat, which extends to a fully-flat bed, 80.5 inches in length. 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.
James Hogan, Etihad Airways' chief executive, said: 'The entry into service of our new first class product is a major milestone for Etihad Airways as it is the first time we have offered our customers their own private suite within the first class cabin'.
The new suites feature in-flight entertainment of the highest quality, with more than 600 hours of entertainment available on-demand on the 23 inch wide-screen LCD screen. In-flight dining is taken to a new level with meals served on an extra large wood-finished table, said a statement from Etihad Airways.
