Etihad Airways has unveiled a new, special 20th anniversary livery on one of six Airbus A321neos joining their fleet. The design details the carrier’s history, and the livery decal wraps across both sides of the fuselage in Arabic and English.
On Tuesday (June 25, 2024), Etihad Airways, the national airline of the UAE, revealed a special new 20th anniversary livery, which is featured on one of six new Airbus A321neos joining their fleet. The design’s line-style art celebrates the intricate beauty of unity, while showcasing iconic landmarks across Abu Dhabi. The livery decal wraps around both sides of the fuselage in both Arabic and English, and the aircraft will be deployed across a number of routes, including services to India and the Middle East. Etihad’s six new Airbus A321neos will be powered by CFM LEAP-1A engines, which offer a fuel burn reduction of up to 20 percent and lower emissions compared to similar engines in its class.
In Tuesday’s announcement, Etihad’s CEO, Antonoaldo Neves, said,
“The livery marks our 20th year of delivering remarkable service, fulfilling our mission to deliver extraordinary experiences inspired by our Emirati identity. It reflects the journey we have been on, and it also sets the tone for our future as we give flight to our ambition, to be the airline that everyone wants to fly.”
Speaking on the delivery of the airline’s new A321neos, Etihad’s Chief Operations and Guest Officer, John Wright, said,
“We are pleased to have brought in this fleet so quickly after committing the aircraft in December last year. With constrained aircraft deliveries worldwide, this fleet is an important bridge for our growth plans as we anticipate the arrival of over 20 new aircraft in 2025. An airline normally takes up to two years to bring a new airframe and engine type into operation, and it is a testament to the speed and flexibility of our Etihad teams and our partners that we have been able to commission them safely and compliantly within seven months.”
