Etihad Airways wins 'Airline of the Year' award by TTG

Etihad Airways has been awarded the 'Airline of the Year' award for the third consecutive year by UK magazine, Travel Trade Gazette (TTG).

The airline was nominated in two categories - ‘Airline of the Year’ – and in a special category for ‘Travel Company of the Year’, where Etihad Airways was the only airline mentioned. The entry mechanism for the award was redesigned for 2016 as only the agents’ best-rated supplier in each of the 15 categories was shortlisted.

James Harrison, general manager for Etihad Airways in the UK, said: “I am delighted that we have won this prestigious award for the third time as it recognises the airline’s world-class product and service, as well as our strong commercial relationships with the trade.

“Additionally, the award recognises the hard work that’s been put in, not just over the last 12 months, but over a prolonged period. Alongside the introduction of Edinburgh and the expansion of our A380’s into London, it has helped to increase our brand awareness with the trade and our guests.”
