Etihad Airways to serve first class...

The Giorgio Armani-designed dining service will launch onboard in December

Abu Dhabi-based Etihad Airways will serve luxury on a plate thanks to a new partnership with Armani/Casa, the homeware branch of designer Giorgio Armani's lifestyle empire. The upgrade in tableware aims to elevate the premium travel experience for its passengers.

Armani/Casa's Constellation Collection dining service, comprises ceramics, glassware, cutlery, serving ware and textiles and has a colour palette that reflects the surroundings of Abu Dhabi; dark green inspired by date palm trees, aquamarine representing mangroves and slate to symbolise the capital’s skyline.

Commenting on the launch, Etihad group CEO Tony Douglas said: “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.”
