Etihad Airways has won a hat-trick of awards at the 2023 Business Traveller Middle East Awards – Best Economy Class, Best Frequent Flyer Programme for ‘Etihad Guest’ and Best Cabin Crew for the third year in a row.
The awards were presented at a gala awards ceremony held yesterday evening at the Palazzo Versace, Dubai.
Etihad’s Cabin Crew are best known for their warm and personal service which is inspired by traditional Emirati hospitality. Before they take to the skies, Etihad’s cabin crew are taken through an extensive training process which ensures the highest standards of safety, service and hospitality.
Antonoaldo Neves, Etihad Airways chief executive, said: “Etihad’s special guests and clients tell us time and time again of the great service and hospitality they experience when they travel on Etihad. This award is testament to the hard work, consistency and commitment of our Cabin Crew who always go the extra mile for our guests. On behalf of everyone at Etihad, I would like to sincerely thank our Cabin Crew, and thank our guests and the public for voting for Etihad.
“These awards are an excellent way to recognise and celebrate the achievements of the entire industry who together are boosting tourism and business travel for the benefit of us all,” he continued.
