ETIHAD Airways swept up awards for leading airline, best first class service and top cabin crew at the Middle East edition of the World Travel Awards held in Dubai over the weekend, which also recognized the best in hotels, spas, rental car companies, travel agencies and tourist destinations in the region.

Last year, Etihad Airways was also voted the World’s Leading Airline for the fourth consecutive time and will be looking for a fifth win at the international awards in Las Vegas later this year — an impressive feat given that the airline launched in 2003.

The flagship carrier of the United Arab Emirates also pulled off a strong showing at the Skytrax World Airline Awards last summer, where it took home titles for best first class, best first class seats, and best first class catering.

The airline has also upped the ante in the airline industry launching premium services for passengers that include bringing personal, onboard chefs into its first class cabin, and installing ing-flight showers on their aircraft.

The grand finale of the World Travel Awards will take place in Las Vegas later this year.
