Etihad Airways will introduce the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner on its daily scheduled service from Abu Dhabi to Hong Kong from March 31st.

The two-class aircraft will replace the Airbus A330-200 aircraft currently operating the route.

The new 787-9 Dreamliner service to Hong Kong will feature the airline’s next-generation business and economy cabins, configured with 299 seats.

This represents a capacity increase of six seats in business and 31 in economy in each direction, and an increase in belly-hold cargo capacity of four tonnes.

The airline’s Boeing 787 fleet is equipped with the latest inflight entertainment system featuring over 750 hours of movies and programmes, as well as hundreds of music choices and a selection of games for both adults and children.
