Etihad Airways, the national airline of the UAE, is introducing a new aircraft to its fleet: the Airbus A321LR. Starting on 1 August 2025, the A321LR will bring its signature long-haul luxury to short and medium-haul routes, featuring two exclusive First Suites, 14 lie-flat Business seats, and upgraded Economy, all with wide-body comfort, superfast Wi-Fi, and 4K entertainment screens.

The A321LR will serve routes from Abu Dhabi to cities such as Algiers, Bangkok, Chennai, Chiang Mai, Krabi, Kolkata, Medan, Phnom Penh, Phuket, Riyadh, and Tunis. 

This provides seamless onward connections from Abu Dhabi with enhanced comfort and premium services. It’s an extraordinary experience in every cabin, making shorter journeys as luxurious as long-haul flights.
