Etihad Airways has enjoyed stunning success at the World Travel Awards, taking the top honour for the third year in a row. It was named the World's Leading Airline last night at a black-tie gala event in Doha, Qatar. The judges also presented Etihad Airways with awards for the World's Leading First Class and World's Leading Airline to the Middle East.
These three awards cap an extraordinary 12 months for the airline. Highlights included the launch of seven new international routes, a move into operating profitability and the purchase of a 29.2 percent stake in airberlin, a landmark deal that enables access to 33 million new passengers in Europe.
James Hogan, Etihad Airways' President and Chief Executive Officer, said: "We are delighted to have been named World's Leading Airline at the World Travel Awards for the third successive year. 2011 was a fantastic year for Etihad Airways, during which we began to reap the full benefits of financial and operational strategies developed over the last five years."-PR
