Etihad Airways said on Tuesday it will operate its flagship Boeing 787 Dreamliner on the Abu Dhabi — Casablanca route, effective May 1, 2018.

This will make Casablanca the first North African destination to be served by Etihad’s next-generation aircraft. The three-class aircraft, featuring eight First Suites, 28 Business Class seats, and 199 Economy Class seats, will replace the Airbus A330s currently operating daily on the route.

Etihad will maintain its early morning arrival into Casablanca, and operate a revised mid-morning return service to improve connectivity.
