Dubai: While other airlines are cutting costs and suspending operations in a number of destinations, a UAE-based carrier continues to invest in order to up the ante in customer experience. Etihad Airways has just added a new superjumbo jet to its fleet, the Airbus A380, which is touted as the world’s largest commercial passenger plane.

The UAE national airline announced on Thursday the delivery of the double-decker A380 at the European planemaker’s plant in Germany that features luxurious “accommodations” in the air,  including an apartment equipped with a living room, a private shower and a bedroom.
