Etihad has been growing at a fast pace,even though they remain a "boutique" airline compared to their UAE rival, Emirates.
To help their growth plans, or Etihad has been operating some leased Jet Airways planes for a while. Etihad has a 24% stake in Jet Airways,which is a notoriously unprofitable airline. Since Jet Airways couldn't turn a profit on longhaul flights, it made sense for them to try to prick their losses on the 777-300ERs.
So Etihad has been flying them for the past several years, or has six of them in their fleet. The issue is that the onboard product on the Jet Airways 777 doesn't fairly match the product on the Etihad 777.
While Jet Airways also has fully enclosed suites in first class on their 777s,the product is outdated and poorly maintained. The same is accurate in other cabins.
