Founded in 2003, Etihad Airways is the flag carrier and government owned airline of the United Arab Emirates. They have a global hub at Abu Dhabi International Airport (AUH) where they connect over 100 passenger and cargo destinations across six continents with their a young fleet of 120 aircrafts.
They are not a member of a major global airline alliance, and instead established their own alliance call Etihad Airways Partners in 2015 that includes Jet Airways, Air Serbia, and Air Seychelles.
Etihad’s excellent products and service have earned it the title of “World’s Leading Airline” at the World Travel Awards every year since 2009. They were the fifth airline to receive a 5-star airline rating from Skytrax.
• Etihad translates as 'together' or 'join in one' which goes with the name of the country United Arab Emirates.
• The airlines features the world’s only 3-room suite in the sky with a shower and your own personal butler.
