Изчезващи и редки модели самолети

[дядо Пепи]

Като пътник най-комфортно съм се чувствал в MD-11.

А пък аз в B727, като още си спомням удобните кресла. От днешните съм много доволен от А220 за кратки и B777 и B787 за дълги полети...

преди 2 часа, Duke каза:

Сега умишлено при възможност гледам да избирам B777 или някои от вариантите на B787, които разполагат с няколко "двойки" в задната част на кабината, че при дълги полети не ми е приятно да седя до непознат...

А330 е в конфигурация 2 х 4 х 2 с изключение на Cebu, AirAsia, Batik, Lion, VietJet, Air Transat(A330 - 200) и Philippines airlines част от машините.

Да, летял съм с такъв и по-горе писах, но напоследък не попадам на такива машини на авиокомпаниите, които ползвам за дълги полети...

Six years after grounding its entire Airbus A380 fleet and seemingly saying goodbye to the world’s largest passenger aircraft, Etihad Airways has completed a remarkable comeback.

The Abu Dhabi-based airline has now returned all nine surviving A380s to its fleet, with the final aircraft, A6-APB, reportedly leaving long-term storage in France on September 17, 2026.

Etihad originally operated ten superjumbos before the pandemic brought operations to a halt in 2020. One aircraft, A6-APA, was subsequently dismantled for spare parts, while the remaining nine have gradually been restored at considerable expense.

The airline initially brought the A380 back in July 2023, primarily serving London Heathrow. However, booming premium travel demand, limited airport slots and delays affecting newer widebody aircraft have given the four-engine giant another lease of life.

Etihad’s A380 network now includes five destinations from Abu Dhabi:

* 🇬🇧 London Heathrow (LHR)
* 🇫🇷 Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG)
* 🇯🇵 Tokyo Narita (NRT)
* 🇸🇬 Singapore Changi (SIN)
* 🇨🇦 Toronto Pearson (YYZ)

Each aircraft can accommodate 486 passengers, including Etihad’s famous three-room Residence, complete with a private bedroom, living area and shower.

The A380 was once considered too expensive to justify keeping. Now Etihad has spent millions bringing the very same aircraft back because it needs the additional capacity.
