Etihad picks up business awards
14 May 2008

Etihad Airways, the national carrier of the United Arab Emirates, has picked up two honours at this year's Business Traveller Middle East awards.

The airline was voted the operator with the best cabin staff and also the best economy class provider.

Some 500 local and international guests attended the awards ceremony at the Jumeirah Emirates Towers in Dubai.

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.

'Etihad is extremely proud to be voted the "airline with the best cabin staff" because the cabin crew are the public face of the airline and play such an important role in serving our customers.'
