It will replace the Boeing 777-300ER now serving the route.
Etihad Airways first began welcoming guests on board its first A380 flight between New York JFK and Abu Dhabi in November 2015.
“The response we have received from Etihad Airways guests traveling between Abu Dhabi and NY since we launched the service almost a decade ago has been phenomenal, and we are delighted to further expand our world-class product for all guests traveling to and from NY”, said Etihad chief executive Peter Baumgartner.
The upgraded A380 service includes The Residence-the only three-room suite available in the commercial airline industry-and nine First Apartment cabins, as well as fine culinary options cooked by an onboard chef.
Together with Etihad Airways’ Premium Lounges in Washington, D.C., and New York’s JFK, the new First & Business Class Lounge Los Angeles is the airline’s third dedicated hospitality haven in the Americas, and the first on the US West Coast.
EAG has key interests in the USA, operating via six gateway cities across the country.
