Official Boeing 787-9 Layout 1 seat map: First, Business and Economy seat identifiers row by row; front/rear Economy zones; bulkheads, bassinets, toilets and doors. Enumerating the published seats yields 8 First / 28 Business / 190 Economy = 226.
Retrieved through Wayback raw snapshot 2025-09-08 because the live Etihad PDF timed out. The PDF has no numeric capacity table; totals are exact enumerations of the seats drawn. The schematic does not prove window alignment or numeric seat dimensions.

The live Etihad origin timed out during retrieval; archived from the Wayback raw snapshot dated 2026-05-13. The page establishes that Etihad publishes three 787-9 layout variants but does not state their seat totals.

Etihad current fleet page publishes this as Boeing 787-9 v1 / Layout 1. Transcribed row by row from the official PDF. FIRST: rows 1-2 are 1-2-1 (A,D,G,K), 2x4 = 8. BUSINESS uses the airline's alternating published seat-letter topology: rows 5/8/10 are C,D,G,H (3x4=12) and rows 6/7/9/11 are A,E,F,K (4x4=16), grouped as one 28-seat sold cabin through cabinGroupId. ECONOMY: front rows 15-21 are 7x9=63; rear row 23 has D/E/G (3), rows 24-36 are 13x9=117, and tapered row 37 has B/C/D/E/G/H/J (7), giving 127 rear and 190 total. The dark seats with a black cap are explicitly keyed as Bulkhead, distinct from the separate Extra legroom and Standard legend entries; they remain canonical Economy and are rated for their physical bulkhead space rather than being promoted to a separately sold tier. windowAlignment stays unknown for window positions because the top-down schematic does not prove window-to-seat alignment. Numeric seat dimensions, wing range and per-tail assignment are not published in the cited map.
