Etihad unveils Diamond Seat with 180 Degrees Swivel


Luxury combined with hospitality can yield timeless forms. Etihad Airways is making news at the forefront of in-flight innovation with the arrival of its latest purpose-built Airbus 340-500 and the pioneering Diamond Seat. Etihad is delighted to introduce the Diamond zone seat as it wholly endorses their ambitions to offer the highest standards of in-flight hospitality. The seat can rotate 180 degrees, enabling guests to hold meetings and dine, all in the Diamond zone’s luxurious ambience. It also features a 23″ personal LCD video screen.

Each Diamond Seat is fitted with a privacy shell, and has direct access to the aisles, allowing guests to move freely around the aircraft with the maximum ease and convenience. The seat features a six-way movement headrest with built-in massage facility, and for guests wishing to stretch out and relax on the flight, each of the state-of-the-art seats also reclines into a luxurious 6 feet 1-inch flatbed at the touch of a button. The Diamond zone is also equipped with fold-and-swivel meal tables, an integrated personal mirror, pneumatic lumbar support, reading light, desk lamp, a coatroom and mini-bar. Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, is the world’s leading new airline and currently offers flights for guests and cargo to more than 40 destinations in the Middle East, Europe, North America, Africa and Asia.
