This milestone positions Etihad as one of the pioneering airlines globally to attain such versatility in its pilot capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/en\/2023\/12\/etihad-airways-and-tap-air-portugal-enter-into-codeshare-agreement.html\">Etihad Airways and TAP Air Portugal enter into codeshare agreement<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Airline pilots are typically restricted to flying only one aircraft type. However, under certain conditions such as high similarity of flight deck, pilot procedures, and the implementation of special training, pilots may be enabled to operate two similar aircraft types through a dedicated programme approved by the aircraft manufacturer and the Civil Aviation Authority, known as \u2018Mixed Fleet Flying\u2019 or \u2018MFF\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Etihad Airways is proud to be the one of the very first airlines to qualify its pilots to fly both the Airbus A350 and A380. This achievement will enhance the resilience and flexibility of the airline\u2019s network and is testament to our commitment to continuously push the boundaries of efficiency, innovation, and customer satisfaction, and at all times ensuring safety is Etihad\u2019s number one priority\u201d, Mohammad Al Bulooki, Chief Operating Officer at Etihad Airways said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the past decade, Etihad has obtained similar approvals to qualify its Airbus pilots to interchangeably fly the A320 and A330 types, A330 and A340 types, and its Boeing pilots to fly the 777 and 787 types, setting new standards for fleet commonality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"related-topics\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-post-grid uagb-post-grid
