Etihad Airways increases Airbus A380 flights to London Heathrow

Etihad Airways is set to increase its Airbus A380 operations at London Heathrow Airport. Starting June 16, the airline will replace one of its Boeing 787 Dreamliner flights with an A380 on the Abu Dhabi to London route. This change will result in three daily A380 flights and one Dreamliner flight between the two cities.

According to Cirium, an aviation analytics company, the affected flight is EY63, departing Abu Dhabi at 08:05 and arriving in London at 12:45. The return flight, EY64, leaves London at 14:45 and arrives back in Abu Dhabi at 00:45 the next day. This adjustment is expected to increase weekly capacity by approximately 1,104 seats each way.

Etihad's A380s feature a seating configuration of 405 economy class seats, along with 70 business and 11 first-class seats. The airline does not offer a premium economy cabin on these aircraft.
