Etihad Airways, in partnership with Armani/Casa, has announced a new collaboration to deliver a premium travel experience, setting a new benchmark for the aviation industry.

 

Launching onboard in December 2022, the partnership creates a unique vision for Etihad’s premium offering, exclusively designed with celebrated designer Giorgio Armani.

 

The Etihad and Armani/Casa collaboration introduces ‘The Constellation Collection’, inspired by the stars, for Business class guests. The collection includes a new dining service featuring ceramics, glassware, cutlery and serving ware, as well as premium textiles for a luxurious inflight experience. 

 

Tony Douglas, Group Chief Executive Officer, Etihad, said: “Today we unveil a completely new and elevated way to fly with Etihad Airways -- an experience defined by our Emirati heritage yet shaped by a clear vision for our future. Known globally for its Italian luxury and elegance, Armani/Casa is the ideal brand partner to create an unparalleled level of bespoke service and refinement for our guests.”

 

Redefining Business class travel

The dining service features refined silhouettes with elevated contemporary finishes, mixed materials and embossed patterns. The use of multiple textures represents the cultural diversity of the UAE. The signature cutlery is elegantly tactile with patterned handles bringing the unmistakable Armani/Casa experience directly to the guest. 

 

The collection is designed in line with the airline’s commitment to sustainability. Durable, high-quality material and innovative designs have reduced equipment weight by up to 10%, resulting in less fuel burn and fewer emissions. 

 

The premium textiles range includes a matching pillowcase and duvet set featuring Armani/Casa signature designs to further enhance the Business class turn-down experience. Guests on longer flights will also benefit from the airline’s new memory foam mattress, providing additional comfort to the fully-flat bed. - TradeArabia News Service
