With its fuel-efficiency and resulting long range of up to 17,000 kilometers, the state-of-the-art Airbus A350-1000 has opened up new routes for Etihad Airways. Nine of the 74 meter-long aircraft are currently already part of the fleet, with a further 18 aircraft to follow, which will help further expand Etihad’s network from Abu Dhabi’s Zayed International Airport to far-away destinations around the world. In comparison to the first edition, this new production run features not only a new registration – A6-XWC – but also additional printed details on its nose section.
