(MENAFN) Etihad Airways, the Abu Dhabi-based national airline of the UAE, will introduce its first �all economy� class aircraft into its fleet in October 2010.
The two Airbus A320s will be configured to carry 162 economy class passengers, an increase of 42 from the current economy capacity.
The all-economy cabin aircraft will operate to short haul Etihad destinations, which have high demand for economy traffic and low demand for premium traffic. Initially these will fly Alexandria, Calicut, Colombo, Damascus, Doha and Thiruvananthapuram routes.
Plans are in place to expand the all-economy fleet to 10 A320 aircraft which will enable the airline to launch new short haul destinations which have low demand for premium travel and also to existing Etihad destinations.
Etihad currently has 15 A320 aircraft within its fleet and 35 aircraft are on order from Airbus.
