Ma 5 – Etihad Airways is contemplating introducing all-economy, single-class flight services in a bid to cut costs, said the airline CEO James Hogan, who was speaking at the launch of Hala Abu Dhabi, the airline’s latest destination management product. “I think we are capable – we already have 15 A320 aircraft. That gives us the frequency and the depth that we need to cater to passengers in the GCC, the Middle East and India. We also use them [for services] to Minsk and Moscow. Predominantly, we are a two-class airline, and our customers expect a two-class vision. We also have to take into account the capacity of Abu Dhabi airport,” said Hogan.
He also said that currently, there is no need to introduce a single class since the airline is monitoring the market carefully.
