The beginning of regular Airbus A350 services was originally prepared for October, but in July this year, the launch date was brought forward by 1 month. The Airbus A350-1000 will now run 5 times per week between Etihad Airways\u2019 hub at Abu Dhabi International Airport (AUH) and London Heathrow (LHR).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The modern aircraft brings with it raised fuel efficiency and a superior passenger experience, and the airline\u2019s Country Manager UK & Ireland, Jeremy Pollock, celebrated the first flight and said<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are very proud of the launch of operations for our Airbus A350 aircraft in the UK. The aircraft will give our guests a world-class inflight experience whilst having the knowledge that they are choosing a more sustainable method of the trip.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flight EY11\/EY12 is operated by the Airbus A350-1000 on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etihad Airways<\/h2>\n\n\n\n


Elsewhere in the UK, Etihad Airways<\/a><\/strong> operates daily flights to Manchester (MAN), with the Boeing 787. Other airlines now flying the Airbus A350 to London Heathrow<\/a><\/strong> include British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, and Malaysia Airlines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building on the progress made with its Boeing 787 Greenline program, Etihad Airways\u2019 industry-leading Sustainability50 program aims to reduce the impact of aviation on the environment and reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its impressive credentials as one of the most efficient aircraft types in the world and a fuel efficiency 25% larger than the Airbus A330, the Airbus A350 plays a key role in 50. This fuel efficiency arrived part thanks to the aircraft\u2019s Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
