Etihad Airways are set to retire all of its Boeing 777 jets by the end of 2021 and will keep their A380 superjumbo aircraft grounded ‘indefinitely’ as the airline tries to recover from the pandemic.

The Abu Dhabi-based carrier has been struggling during the pandemic, with international travel grinding to a halt, and countries right across the world closing their borders.

Like many airlines, Etihad Airways is cutting costs as a way to survive.

The Gulf Carriersays the decision to remove the Boeing 777 from the fleet comes at a time where the airline focuses on a restructure.

Etihad Airways announced today that they'll remove the 777-300ER from their fleet by year's end. The airline maintains a fleet of 19 -300ERs, 10 of which are currently in storage. The remaining 9 fly a mix of passenger and belly cargo flights. https://t.co/QKk1ZV0Cy8 pic.twitter.com/1M1JoKRKLu

Etihad plans to simplify its fleet and shift its focus to the Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft, an aircraft seen as a “more efficient” jet that has many financial benefits.
