Etihad Airways has received the prestigious title of Middle East’s Leading Airline at the World Travel Awards Middle East, for a remarkable seventh consecutive year.

The accolade was one of three awards won by the national airline of the United Arab Emirates during the black tie event held at Dubai’s Le Royal Meridien Beach Resort & Spa recently.

Etihad Airways was also recognized for the Middle East’s Leading Airline First Class and Middle East’s Leading Cabin Crew.

The World Travel Awards were established in 1993 to seek out and reward the very best travel organizations in the world, acknowledging the elite organizations in their respective fields through a global vote by travel professionals.

The awards have achieved top industry status and been named by the Wall Street Journal as the “Oscars of the Travel Industry.”
