Eithad airways the national airline of the United Arab Emirates has in just eight years established itself as the world’s leading airline. “Eithad” is the Arabic word for “union”.
Set up by Royal (Amiri) Decree in July 2003, Eithad commenced commercial operations in November, 2003, and has gone on to become the fastest growing airline in the history of commercial aviation.
Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, is the airline’s hub. Etihad’s fleet of 66 aircraft operates more than 1000 flighs per week, serving an international network of 84 passenger and cargo destinations in the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia and North America. Eithad Airways also owns nearly 30 percent of airberlin, Europe’s sixth largest carrier and 40 percent of Air Seychelles.

Eithad Airways has received a range of awards that reflect its position as the leading premium airline brand in the world, including ‘World’s Leading Airline’ at the World Travel Awards in 2009, 2010 and 2011.

That alliance looks set to expand, although Hogan would not comment on reports that it was set to buy 24% of Jet Airways, India's second-largest carrier, for $330m, saying only that a proposal was before the board’
