About Etihad:
Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, is renowned for its luxurious cabins, innovative service, and hub in Abu Dhabi. As a key player in premium aviation, Etihad offers world-class First Class Apartments, Business Studios, and Economy Smart Seats across its global fleet. Known for pushing boundaries, Etihad continually evolves its onboard experience — from lie-flat beds to chef-curated meals and exclusive lounges. With a growing fleet of Boeing 787 Dreamliners, Airbus A350s, and narrowbody aircraft like the A321, Etihad connects passengers to major cities in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Whether flying Etihad First Class, Business, or Economy, travelers enjoy exceptional service, cutting-edge technology, and authentic Arabian hospitality. Etihad Guest, its award-winning loyalty program, offers generous miles and elite perks. As the airline modernizes with sustainable fuel initiatives and innovative aircraft interiors, Etihad continues to redefine luxury travel in the skies.

About Airbus A321LR:
The Airbus A321LR (Long Range) is a game-changing narrowbody aircraft designed for long-haul efficiency and comfort. As part of the A320neo family, the A321LR offers extended range capability of up to 4,000 nautical miles, enabling airlines to fly transatlantic and thinner long-haul routes that were previously unprofitable with widebodies. Equipped with advanced CFM LEAP-1A engines and Sharklets, the A321LR is fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly. Its flexible cabin layout supports everything from high-density configurations to luxurious premium cabins, including lie-flat Business Class seats and, on some carriers like Etihad, even First Class. The A321LR’s quiet cabin, lower emissions, and modern avionics make it a favorite for airlines and passengers alike. Ideal for point-to-point routes and underserved destinations, the Airbus A321LR blends the economics of a single-aisle jet with widebody comfort, revolutionizing how airlines operate mid- to long-haul flights — all while maximizing passenger experience and profitability.
