Etihad Airways stretches its legs with 'Economy Space'

Etihad Airways, the national airline of the UAE, is introducing Economy Space, a new seating option across its wide-body fleet, to enhance its product offering and to provide more choice to its customers on longer flights. 

By December 2018, the airline will have retrofitted its 10 Airbus A380s with Economy Space seats, which features an extra 92 centimeters of room. The redesign increases the number of extra legroom seats in economy from 20 to 80 on the aircraft. 

In addition to modifying its A380s, the carrier will also add additional Economy Space seats to 12 Boeing 777s and 21 Boeing 787 Dreamliners by the end of 2019.
