Etihad Airways will be the new attraction at London’s World Travel Market (WTM) as the UAE’s national airline is exhibiting at the event for the first time.
Barely two years old, Etihad Airways is regularly described by industry observers as the most successful airline start up in history and many are excited at the prospect of seeing what the airline has to offer at WTM.
“We are delighted to be exhibiting at the WTM for the first time. There’s so much news we want to share with the world travel trade about our exciting product developments and new route announcements,” said Ian Ferguson-Brown Head of Marketing with Etihad Airways.
Etihad’s impressive stand will showcase the airline’s revolutionary products and approach to guest services. Etihad Airways’ presence at WTM, which is on from the 14 – 17 November, reflects the airline’s ambitious plans to be a global leader in commercial aviation and travel.
Etihad will be hosting a press reception on the stand, Middle East Pavilion 2575, at which media will be given an insight into Etihad Airways’ future plans and direction and a new ‘Change the way you see the World’ global advertising campaign as well as experiencing Etihad Airways’ elite level of hospitality.
Last year Etihad Airways created history by placing the largest order ever for new aircraft by a new airline; it will also be one of the first to fly the new Airbus A380 double-decker when they are introduced, bringing unprecedented levels of luxury to the world of flying.
Since its inaugural flight in November 2003, the airline has strategically increased the number of destinations it flies to, adding at least one route each month. It currently flies to 19 destinations, and aims to increase that figure to 70 destinations by 2010.
