It looks like no one in India are really planning to take a travel in premium cabin and first class on Etihad Airways – which flies between Mumbai and Abu Dhabi. We had to reach this conclusion after the Airways’ decided to stop it’s service from July 1, 2017.
In May 2016, Etihad Airways started it’s Airbus A380, world’s largest passenger airline service, between India’s biggest business city Mumbai and Abu Dhabi. Since then, the Etihad plane invited a lot of attention, all thanks to lavish and excellent amenities available inside it.
The most-talked aircraft seats 496 passengers which include the Residence, a three room private cabin, in addition to First, business and economy classes.
A ticket from Mumbai to Abu Dhabi for up to two passengers in The Residence was sold for around INR 7 lakh, as a part of it’s launch offer; which is relatively very high for other cities like London and New York priced at over INR 35 lakh and INR 50 lakh, respectively.
Despite the fact that it offered low price, very few from India have preferred to travel in The Residence and first class, which made Etihad group to withdraw A380 plane to Indian and operate in Abu Dhabi- Paris route during the peak summer travel months.
Effective from July 1 until October 28, 2017, Etihad airways will operate A340 flights between Abu Dhabi and Mumbai in place of A380 aircraft. But the Airways had a different story to it. According to them, the aircraft is being withdrawn temporarily as part of it’s seasonal adjustments.
