Etihad Airways Business Class

Etihad Airways Business Studio is the UAE carrier’s flagship business class product, operating from Abu Dhabi to destinations across Europe, Asia, North America, and Australia. The Business Studio with door, introduced on the A350-1000 and retrofitted 787-9 fleet, represents one of the most competitive business class products globally. Etihad operates independently of any airline alliance but maintains codeshare partnerships with over 30 carriers.

Seat and cabin

The Business Studio features forward-facing suites in a 1-2-1 configuration with closing privacy doors. Each suite measures 22 inches wide with 79 inches of pitch and converts to a fully flat bed with premium bedding by Coco-Mat. The A350-1000 introduces Etihad’s latest suite design with an 18.5-inch 4K touchscreen, wireless charging, and Bluetooth audio. The 777-300ER retains an older staggered layout without doors on some routes.

Dining and service

Etihad’s dine-anytime menu offers à la carte selections curated by an in-house culinary team. Dishes blend Middle Eastern flavours with international cuisine—expect Arabic mezze, lobster, and premium steaks. The bar features champagne, craft cocktails, and a strong wine list. Service is polished and attentive, consistently praised as among the best in the Gulf.

Lounge access

At Abu Dhabi, Business Studio passengers access the Etihad Business Lounge with à la carte dining, a fitness room, prayer rooms, and shower suites. The premium Six Senses spa offers complimentary treatments for First and invitation-only Business guests. Partner lounges are available at outstations.
