Etihad Airways
Etihad Airways is a major player in the aviation industry, operating more than 1,000 flights per week to over 120 passenger and cargo destinations across the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia, and North America. As of January 2024, the airline boasts a fleet of 85 Airbus and Boeing aircraft. Its primary hub is located at Zayed International Airport.
In addition to its core business of passenger transportation, Etihad Airways also runs Etihad Holidays and Etihad Cargo, further diversifying its operations. Notably, the airline established the Etihad Airways Partners alliance in October 2015, aiming to strengthen global connectivity and collaboration among member airlines. However, the alliance ceased operations in 2018 due to financial challenges faced by several member airlines. Etihad had maintained minority investments in these airlines and previously held a stake in Virgin Australia until the latter's insolvency in April 2020, resulting in no return on investment for Etihad.
