Etihad Airways has been awarded top honours at the World Travel Awards for the third year in a row.

The national airline of the UAE was judged World's Leading Airline - at the Oscars of the travel industry - last Wednesday (11) in Doha, Qatar.

The airline was also honoured with two other titles for World's Leading First Class and World's Leading Airline to the Middle East.

James Hogan, Etihad Airways' president and CEO, said: "We are delighted to have been named World's Leading Airline at the World Travel Awards for the third successive year.

"2011 was a fantastic year for Etihad Airways, during which we began to reap the full benefits of financial and operational strategies developed over the last five years."

The past year saw the airline expand with the launch of seven new international routes and the purchase of a 29.2% stake in airberlin.

The purchase means Etihad Airways will have access and the potential to serve an additional 33 million passengers in Europe.

Other winners were Qatar Airways for The World's Leading Airline Business Class and Lounge: Business Class; British Airways for World's Leading Airline Lounge: First Class and Virgin Atlantic Airways for World's Leading Airline to North America, Caribbean and Inflight Entertainment.

Etihad was also recognised with a passenger award for its excellent customer service product and premium service across all cabins, by the Air Transport World.
