I can see the 'residence' being used by Statesmen when they travel with their entourage, or top artists, actors, athletes etc. I don't think it is something targeted at business flyers or executives, although it is still a possibility. If I understand correctly, the 'residence' pricing includes 'accomodation' for two persons. This in my opinion points to leisure market or mixed (business + leisure) market.

Methinks that this is a special livery for their A380 fleet. They're still taking delivery of other aircraft in the usual delivery. Check out the A320s in @xfwspotter's pictures.

EY A380s would obviously have a new livery then but I'm starting to wonder now with addasih's post, if MSN170 wouldn't have a 'special' livery, different from the new A380 EY livery. This could explain also why the tail of MSN166 was covered, and MSN170 not and I guess my thought could be strenghtened IF MSN176's Tail would be covered or not... Living everybody guess that the new livery looks like MSN170's Tail, but in fact not Etihad's twitt with the Tail of MSN170 is on the picture with only 'special' liveries from other EY planes, that's why...

Could it be that EY decision about new livery only came after the first tail was painted?? But again reading their tweet over and over with other planes in their fleet with special liveries, I think I lean to agree with FabienA380 in his post above.
