Etihad Airways flight EY1 from Abu Dhabi to New York arrived at John F. Kennedy International Airport on Monday, April 22, heralding the start of the airline’s A380 double-decker service featuring The Residence, the legendary, sumptuous three-room suite in the sky.

After a celebratory send-off in Abu Dhabi, Etihad pilots waved the US and UAE flags from the cockpit after the super-jumbo arrived on its stand in New York.

The introduction of Etihad’s A380 to the popular New York route comes just three weeks after launching its new route to Boston, underscoring the airline’s strategy to meet increasing customer demand, service the corporate travelers and expand its network across the North American market.

The new A380 route will service one of Etihad’s two daily flights to New York, while the other will be operated by a 787-9, offering First, Business, and Economy cabins. At the pinnacle of luxury in the A380 is The Residence. Accommodating up to two guests, The Residence provides guests with unparalleled luxury and service, with a private living room, bedroom, and ensuite bathroom, complete with a shower at 40,000 feet. Guests are catered to by a dedicated team of Etihad cabin crew and are offered a range of lavish culinary options including an à la carte menu, designer tableware, breakfast in bed and The Residence Signature High Tea.
