Etihad Airways was established by Royal (Amiri) Decree in July 2003. It commenced operations in November 2003 and has developed into one of the fastest growing airlines in the history of commercial aviation.
Every year, we receive a range of
awards that reflect our position as one of the world’s leading premium airline
brands, including ‘World’s Leading Airline’ at the World Travel Awards for five
consecutive years. Browse through our Factsheets & Annual Reports for the
complete list.
We are committed to a strategy of collaborative growth in order to gain the scale we require to be competitive in the global air transport market. Beyond our organic growth, this is being achieved through the development of a strong base of codeshare partnerships, and minority investments in strategically important airlines, which combined, provide access to hundreds of destinations we do not serve with our own aircraft.
