Etihad Airways Launches Premium Flights from Kolkata
Etihad Airways is now offering a fancy new flight experience from Kolkata to Abu Dhabi!
They're using a special plane, the Airbus A321 Long Range, that has first-class suites, business class, and economy seats.
This is a big deal because it's like a wide-body experience in a smaller plane.
The airline chose Kolkata because they believe many people there like premium travel.
Etihad plans to add more of these special planes to their fleet, so they can offer this service to other Indian cities too!
