Etihad Airways marked a historic milestone on Sunday, February 2, as its iconic Airbus A380 landed at Singapore Changi Airport for the first time. This inaugural flight introduces the world’s largest passenger aircraft to the Abu Dhabi–Singapore route, further enhancing connectivity between the two destinations.

“As a vibrant and dynamic city, Singapore has always been a key destination for Etihad. The introduction of the A380 enhances our offering on this route and reinforces our commitment to delivering exceptional travel experiences across our expanding global network. This capacity expansion responds to the growing demand for travel to and from Singapore,”
said Arik De, Chief Revenue and Commercial Officer at Etihad Airways.
The A380 increases capacity on the route by 28%, accommodating 486 passengers across four travel classes:
- The Residence
- Nine First-Class Apartments
- 70 Business Class Studios
- 405 Economy Smart seats
Strengthening UAE-Singapore Relations
The UAE and Singapore share strong economic, cultural, and business ties. This route not only caters to leisure travelers but also enhances business connections in key industries such as aviation, energy, and technology.
Additionally, Etihad offers passengers the chance to experience Abu Dhabi’s growing tourism scene through its stopover program, which includes up to two complimentary nights in premium hotels.
With this latest expansion, Etihad continues to elevate its global presence, reinforcing Abu Dhabi as a premier travel hub.
