Etihad Airways upgrades Mumbai, Delhi flights with premium cabins

Etihad Airways has upgraded its premium travel offering on flights connecting Abu Dhabi with Mumbai and New Delhi, introducing Airbus A321LR aircraft on select services. The move will see four daily flights on each route offering enhanced premium cabins, including lie-flat Business seats with direct aisle access and a First-class experience.

A321LR to complement wide-body operations

The airline will deploy the Airbus A321LR twice daily on both routes, alongside two daily wide-body flights. With this, all four daily services between Abu Dhabi and the two Indian cities will now feature upgraded premium offerings.

Passengers in premium cabins will have access to lie-flat seats and enhanced onboard services across all flights.


Arik De, Chief Revenue and Commercial Officer at Etihad Airways, said, “This is a major upgrade on our flights connecting Abu Dhabi to Mumbai and New Delhi, which demonstrates our commitment to the strategically important Indian market where we serve 11 gateways.”

“Guests travelling to and from both cities can now enjoy a true First experience throughout their entire journey when connecting from these cities to global destinations like London, Paris, Zurich, Geneva, New York and Toronto. Likewise, our Business guests will enjoy lie-flat seats and a premium experience with luxury amenities, fine dining and hospitality on all flights connecting Mumbai and New Delhi.”
