Etihad Airways has won the British Travel Awards as it was voted 'Airline of the Year' in recognition of its tremendous growth and innovative services.
The Abu Dhabi-based airline received the award at a function at Battersea Evolution in London. It was attended by some 900 travel industry professionals on Friday, according to a message received here.
James Hogan, chief executive of Etihad Airways, said, “It's a tremendous honour for Etihad Airways to win the prestigious title of 'airline of the year' and the British Travel Awards.”
The British Travel Award is the latest in a series of top accolades that the national airline of the United Arab Emirates has won this year, including the Middle East's 'Leading Airline', 'Leading First Class' and 'Leading Travel Website' at the 2008 World Travel Awards;
'Best Cabin Staff' and 'Best Economy Class' at the Business Traveller Middle East awards and 'Best Website' at the 2008 Pan Arab Web awards.
