Etihad Airways,
the national airline of the United Arab Emirates was
established by Royal Decree in 2003 to change the way
airlines’ operated and to bring the very best possible for
global travelers - from Abu Dhabi to the world!
Since its
launch, Etihad has become the fastest-growing commercial
airline in aviation history, carrying almost seven million
passengers in 2009 alone. Etihad has an airline fleet of 52
aircrafts and currently flies to 60 cities in 41 countries
worldwide. In merely six years of operations Etihad was
recently awarded the title of “World’s Leading Airline” by
the aviation industry at the 2009 World Trade Awards.
Etihad Airways
has redefined luxury air travel with its new first class
suite, which was awarded as the best at the World Trade
Awards in 2009. The new cabin contains 12 individual suites,
designed to provide first class passengers with more
privacy, greater comfort and increased storage. The first
class suite includes an 80.5 inch fully flat bed, 23 inch
personal TV/Video screen, a personal beverage department,
in-seat massager, changing rooms and much more.
The airline has
long since conquered the title of having the best Business
Class in the world. It is the most luxurious way to fly for
business and pleasure. Discover a style and space like no
other, in the World’s Best Business Class as voted by
Skytrax 2009 and its 16 million users. To make the flight as
comfortable as possible for corporate customers during their
business trips, Etihad offers them the opportunity to sit
back and relax in luxurious seats with 49-inch seat pitch
and generous recline aboard the Etihad Pearl Business Class.
The seats alone cater to all the comfort and needs of the
average business traveler, providing them with privacy and
space to go about their business as they please, along with
seats that stretch out into 6ft 1” inch full flatbeds, with
