Operating only since 2003 Etihad are a very new yet much lauded Middle East operator based in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. The airline is owned by the Abu Dhabi government, who oversee the running of the airline and ensure it is living up to the high standards they set.
Flying currently to just over 30 destinations, including Bangkok, Etihad operate a fleet of 15 planes currently, though this is set to increase as they expand into new areas, all part of the airlines planned development.
For such a new airline Etihad has already made a big impression in the marketplace, their combination of excellent pricing and top quality service winning many new passengers. The almost brand new aircraft also help in this regard, being top specification and very well equipped.
