Etihad Airways has been recognised in the World Travel Awards Middle East and the World MICE Awards in a dazzling awards ceremony in Amman, Jordan at The Ritz-Carlton.

Etihad’s Cabin Crew are renowned for their authentic and personal service inspired by generous Emirati hospitality. Etihad has won many awards for its outstanding Cabin Crew service in the past and it has always been a hallmark of the brand. The airline’s crew are taken through an extensive training process before taking to the skies which focuses on safety, service and hospitality.

Earlier this month, Etihad announced a new, elevated Business class experience in partnership with global fashion heavyweight Armani/Casa which will further enhance its award-winning offering. The collaboration will introduce new inflight dining service, an enhanced dining offering and a new luxurious turn-down service with Armani/Casa branded soft furnishings.

Etihad’s First class is designed as a private universe, which provides guests with a highly personalised and bespoke service tailored to the guests’ individual preferences. This includes a tailormade dining experience allowing guests to create a bespoke menu in the sky.

In inflight entertainment, the content on Etihad’s E-BOX is hand-curated to cater to the wide demographic Etihad flies across its global network. Etihad’s newest fleet has innovations like Bluetooth headset pairing and wireless device charging which complements this leading entertainment offering.
