Etihad To Fly An A380 To Paris

From November 1, 2024, UAE’s national carrier, Etihad Airways, will begin flying an Airbus A380 to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport. Flight EY31 will leave Abu Dhabi at 02:40 and land in the French capital at 07:30. The return leg – EY32 – will depart from Paris and arrive at Abu Dhabi’s Zayed International Airport at 09:45 and 19:25, respectively. All times mentioned are local.This daily service between Abu Dhabi and Paris means the French city will become the third metropolis to receive the mammoth double-decker, after London (UK) and New York (USA). Flights featuring Etihad’s A380 to John F. Kennedy Airport began a few days ago. The one set to ferry passengers to and fro from Paris will have the same configuration as the one on the Abu Dhabi-New York route. That means 68 Economy seats with extra legroom, 337 Economy Smart seats, 70 Business Studios, nine First Apartments, and a three-room suite called The Residence. The aircraft will also boast a lounge and a lobby area, bifurcating the Business Studios section and the First Apartments.
