Etihad Airways is continuing to expand its Airbus A380 network, as the super jumbo will be returning to yet another airport. However, this service will be less than daily, and will only be for a limited time.

It would be particularly nice if Etihad's economics afforded the reinstatement of service to LAX, irrespective of aircraft. It still has its lounge there, albeit currently repurposed.
Plenty of demand (lowers casm/cask) in both the front and the back of the plane for BOM/Mumbai.
Good move by Etihad management here.
I got to fly the First Suites on the A380 from AUH-BOM back in 2016 using miles for some ridiculously low promo price (like 20k Etihad Guest miles or similar). On board services were great, but ground services were horrendous.
Seems like the planned A380 service to Jeddah has been cancelled, the flight will not be operated by the A350-1000 instead, which previously the AUH-BOM afternoon rotation.
Interesting to watch Antonaldo and Arik bring back all the unprofitable flying that Tony worked to cut out of the network in order to make Etihad more sustainable in the long run. It seems like their executive team only knows how to grow a network without a view towards profitability or sustainability before quickly walking away to the next schmuck who is dumb enough to buy their garbage visions. How long do you think this team has left before they leave for another adventure and Etihad is left to pick up the pieces yet again?!
Please calm down
You are carrying on like they are beginning to fly the a380 4 times a day to Mumbai
This is a 3 weekly flight for 4 months
If the two executives were so bad why did Etihad recently reveal its half year results
Which were the best since 2016
Please educate yourself before making such false statements
Did it the other way around in 2016. BOM ground services were surprisingly good.
Had a 6h intl layover in BOM.
The transit desk made a handwritten boarding pass for me to go immediately airside to first class section of the GVK lounge. They had Moet and complimentary massage.
My true boarding pass got printed at the gate.
Totally expected having to wait hours at the transit desk till EY staff showed up instead, but they handled it so well.
My ticket was an AA F award for just 40K AAdvantage miles.
DAC-9W J-BOM-EY F-AUH-EY J-DOH-QR “F”-DXB-QF F-LHR.
Was a great deal back then. Could even visit the EY F, QR F and EK F lounge on that single AA ticket.
What? Tony was the worst CEO. Neves and Arik know how to manage an airline properly and have a profitable vision. Etihad is back and successful.
