Etihad Airways has announced that it will deploy Airbus A380 aircraft on flights to Singapore and increase flights to Thailand.
Etihad A380 to Singapore
As of 1st February 2025, Etihad Airways will deploy Airbus A380 aircraft on its daily EY496/497 to/from Singapore (SIN). The Asian hub will be the fourth destination to be served by Etihad A380s, after London (LHR), New York (JFK) and Paris (CDG) (from 1st November 2024). The airline will have its sixth A380 in operation by the start of 2025.
We are thrilled to announce that our iconic A380 aircraft will begin serving the Singapore route early next year. This aircraft provides our business and leisure travellers with an exceptional flying experience and seamless connections to our Middle East, European, and North American networks. It highlights Etihad’s dedication to optimising travel to Abu Dhabi and beyond, ensuring more convenience and comfort for our guests.
We will have our sixth A380 online next year as we build our capacity further to cater for the travel needs of our guests.
