The evening saw Etihad nominated in three other categories, including best airline serving the Middle East and best business class carrier.
Geert Boven, Etihad Airways executive vice president of sales and services, said: 'It is a tremendous honour for Etihad Airways to win two Business Traveller Middle East awards, especially when you consider that the airline is still relatively young and has only been in operation for four years.
