Etihad launchesA350 to New York & Chicago
Lighter, greener, smarter and quieter than any other generation Airbus aircraft, Etihad’s new A350 is making its inaugural flight to New York from today ( June 30) 2022.
All Etihad flights servicing New York and Chicago O’Hare International Airport will be operated by the Abu Dhabi airline’s flagship A350.
Etihad Guests travelling to the USA have access to Etihad’s pre-clearance in Abu Dhabi, the only USCBP facility in the Middle East. This allows passengers to pass all USA immigration and customs requirements in Abu Dhabi, avoiding immigration and queues on arrival in the USA.
The A350 will almost double premium capacity on our New York and Chicago routes to 44 seats in Business, which provides a luxurious experience comparable to First Class on other international airlines.
The highly efficient fuel consumption and CO2 savings enables Etihad to support its goals to reduce carbon emissions and deliver an unmatched flight experience for guests.
It’s not just the fuel-efficiency and noise-reduction that makes the A350 so incredible.

Etihad’s A350s are much quieter than other Airbus aircraft. That means they’re better for the communities living close to an airport, and better for you on board too. With less noise and clever, ambient lighting that reduces fatigue and jet lag, you’ll arrive refreshed when you fly on an A350.
