Company History
Etihad Airways was created by Royal Decree, specifically to serve Abu Dhabi. It’s relatively a new airline, created in July, 2003 as UAE’s national airline. Initially, United Arabs Emirates was served by Emirates Air as the main air company, though it mainly served Dubai.
Before establishment of Etihad, Abu Dhabi was served by Gulf Air, which was under ownership of Sultan of Oman, and the country of Bahrain. Later on, the Emirate family saw it wise to establish as state-owned airline company as the Sultan of Oman was becoming unstable. There was also need to cater for the city’s growing demand for air transport, among other reasons.
The airline started its services in November, 2003 with a flight to Al Ain. In June, 2004, it made its first direct flight to Geneva followed by Brussels in October, 2005. The first flight cost the airline about 8 U.S dollars investment in purchase of a new aircraft. In a span of just 3 years, Etihad Airways managed to reach 30 destinations, and set a target of 70 destination by 2010. By 2011, they were profitable enough and started investing in other airlines. The company entered into partnership deals with other airlines and by 2013, during their first 10 year anniversary, they had made a great progress.
In 2014, it placed the largest airplane orders in the history, expanded its trans-continental routes and introduced various new cabins on a number of its planes, including The Residence, which is a suited designed to accommodate just 2 passengers. The same year, it created its airline alliance known as Etihad Airways partners, where it holds the minority equity investments. The participants in the alliance are Air Serbia, Jet Airways and Air Seychelles.
