Etihad’s A380 Is Making Its Thailand Debut This October

26 February 2026, 02:00 PM

 

Etihad Airways is introducing its legendary A380 on our established route between Abu Dhabi and Bangkok, starting this October.

Following huge excitement and demand for this deployment on one of our most popular routes, the aircraft will operate our daily evening service from Zayed International Airport (AUH) to Bangkok (BKK). This flagship upgrade significantly boosts capacity ahead of peak winter travel, strengthening connectivity across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Europe.

Etihad’s A380 is a destination in itself:

  • The Residence boasts the world's only 3-room suite with private living room, bedroom, and shower at 40,000ft, and à la carte dining for two guests.
  • First Apartments feature 9 private spaces featuring 80" lie-flat beds, vanity units, and exclusive shower room access.
  • There are 70 Business cabins, with fully lie-flat seats with direct aisle access, plus The Lobby lounge/bar and comprehensive Wi-Fi.
  • The Economy cabin is welcoming, with spacious seats offering +4" extra legroom, signature fixed-wing headrests, and large pillows for enhanced comfort.
