I flew on Etihad Airways new A350-1000 inaugural flight from Abu Dhabi to Paris on 31 March 2022. The Etihad A350-1000 has 44 Business Class suites and 327 economy class seats. A total of 5 A350-1000 will be entering service with Etihad this year.
There are the usual celebrations at the gate before takeoff, aviation enthusiasts and media were busy taking photos and videos of the new plane. The pilot gave the flight briefing and showed the latest touch screen technology on the A350-1000 cockpit display. Enjoy the views from the cockpit during takeoff.
After takeoff, I explored the Economy Class cabin. The first 5 rows in Economy have extra space as Economy Space. There are tablet holders and a bluetooth enabled headset connection. I checked out all the seat functions in the new Etihad Business Class suite. It has a sliding door to enhance privacy.
During the flight, I interviewed Etihad Aviation Group CEO Tony Douglas about the A350 operation and the future of the Etihad A380. The new Etihad A350-1000 will be deployed to Mumbai, Delhi, Jeddah, Cairo and Istanbul before entering long haul service to New York and Chicago in July.
I give my verdict and recommendation on the Etihad A350 at the end of the video.

Masha Allah, stunning airplane
Sam chui… congratulations my dear sir… your videos are super rich and feast to my eyes.
8:38 for its size it's very fuel efficient. They are still being used a lot.

YA ALLAH invite to Islam please Ameeeen 🐪🐫🐪🐫
4:47 – 4:51 Who was here spotting the plane? Was it one of your friends?
André Cossette, captain, is from… Québec (bonjour ! ) and working for Etihad! That’s so cool! Fantastic images from the cockpit, mate!
My dad has to shut off hahahahahahaha
I trust the A350 is a Great product as the cabin width is just nice for a 9 abreast sitting comfort. The 787 is a tight squeeze for 9 abreast but 8 would be better. As for 777X, 10 abreast is a squeeze, 9 would be losing money for the airline. Therefore A350 is a winner.
Etihad is my favorit airline.
so many times I flew from Brussels to Islamabad via Aboudhabi. in begining was A330 and now A350
Por favor entrega o MARTUM em Dubai
É vc quem sabe vc que está me dando

Terrible customer service i personally will never fly with them again
What the co pilot name because looks like from malaysia
On this flight with you! I was in 9K
PERFECT LANDING 10/10
A380 much better and much more comfier to fly.
Bunch of plonkers…correction…english plonkers
How is it that a pilot of such an airplane is so illiterate that he does not even know where he is going? The Persian Gulf is not the Arabian Sea !!! It's funny and surprising that you did not even correct the title of someone who introduces it. This shows that you are not so literate that you do not know that the world map does not have the Arabian Sea at all.
It is funny for someone like you to disrespect a country and a civilization like Iran. This is not acceptable at all for me and the country. #persiangulf

THE WORST AIRLINE!!! Poorly organised boarding process! Awful inflight service! The worst food. And Abu Dhabi is the worst connection! Stay away! There are other better airlines.
Lovely
This guy is on plane for infinite times

Hopefully the A350-1000 will fly one day to Frankfurt
Hi I'm also etihad aircraft ground staff and given facilities to onbord passengers
To all of You…………all airplanes are built to standards………all the same…the reason …..I worked in an Aerospace TestiNG Lab…for 38 years…it's your choice what you like….no more than that………………………
The easy life is showing Sam
Can't wait to fly Etihad again ❤️
Wow three landings gear
It’s the new normal, of long haul, high passenger count aircraft, I guess. I will miss the 380, especially business class, but…always happy to try another aircraft type!
I really want to travel on the A350 but not until the "paint" defects are fixed, I dont trust regulators after Max crashes!
I was stoned watching a Captain seated in the CM2 seat looking the landing as a passenger! Out of any flying loop.. what if a CM1 sudden incapacitation? no hand in sidestick, most probably feet crossed like hands, not calling for spoilers, revers, decel… what a poor CRM!
Glad to see, Etihad chose the best airliner bar none for their fleet. It will help with their financial problems. Good to see them back.
I can't stand the bullshit served by Mr Douglas, the A380 is far from being an economical nonsense even in 2022, many airlines around the world are currently organising its re-entry in service,
If etihad is unable to fill their a380 flights, its their problem, but don't blame it on the airplane..
Their business class is horrible compared to Emirates airlines 👎🏻
I went on a airbus A350 Qatar airways
I love a 350 you should also like a 350
So, was that first class you were sitting in? What about the other YouTubers?
