Etihad Airways to upgrade its Tokyo service with B787

The service will replace the Airbus A340 which currently operates the non-stop service. 

Kevin Knight, Etihad Aviation Group chief strategy and planning officer, said the upgrade to the B787 Dreamliner reflected the importance of the Japan route and the airline’s commitment to the market. 

“The B787 Dreamliner is an exceptional aircraft from an operational and guest experience perspective,” said Knight. “Its unique design and our innovative and stylish cabins offer a guest experience that’s superior in terms of luxury and comfort. 

“These product attributes and the Etihad inflight service and hospitality – onboard Chefs, Food & Beverage Managers and Flying Nannies – make ours a winning proposition.”
