WORLD’S
LEADING AIRLINE” FOR SECOND YEAR RUNNING
Etihad
Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates,
has been awarded the prestigious title of “World’s Leading
Airline” for a second consecutive year at the World Travel
Awards (WTA). The accolade was presented to Peter
Baumgartner, Etihad’s Chief Commercial Officer, at a gala
event in London. The Abu Dhabi-based airline was also named
“World’s Leading First Class” airline for the third year in
a row.
James Hogan, Etihad Airways’ Chief Executive Officer, on
such a prestigious occasion for his airline, commented: “To
win the award for ‘World’s Leading Airline’ two years
running is a phenomenal and unprecedented achievement for an
airline that is only seven years old. Even through stern
challenges, whether competition within the industry,
worldwide security, the global recession, or natural
disasters like the ash cloud in Europe, Etihad has shown
that it is well equipped to manage through these
difficulties and still deliver the best product and service
to its customer’s year on year.”
Etihad was the first Middle Eastern airline to win the
“World’s Leading Airline” award in 2009 and was credited for
the excellence of its onboard product, luxurious airport
lounges and strong service ethic during a period of
phenomenal growth.

brands in the world, with more than 185,000 industry experts
voting online to vet nominations on the basis of the
airlines customer relations, creativity, quality of service,
product innovation and business acumen. Etihad received
considerable praise for consistently being the best in the
air and on the ground.
Etihad’s success in London caps a great year for the airline
as it had won six titles at the WTA ceremony for the Middle
East in May, including the coveted title as the region’s
Leading Airline.
