Year of Zayed unveiled at Etihad Airways

Etihad Aviation Group today unveiled its extensive Year of Zayed initiatives which are set to be launched throughout 2018.

Etihad Aviation Group’s initiatives are based on the four Year of Zayed themes, which are wisdom, respect, sustainability, and human development. The company’s initiatives are:

1) Humanitarian freighter

2) Zayed A380 & Abu Dhabi Experience

3) Abu Dhabi Birdathon

4) Zayed Campus & Young Aviators

Tony Douglas, Group Chief Executive Officer of Etihad Aviation Group, said: “The late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the Founding Father of the UAE, was a visionary leader whose determination, wisdom and guidance enabled the UAE to become the prosperous, modern and harmonious nation it is today. His vision and legacy have directly impacted the lives of millions of people in the UAE and around the world, many of whom have been beneficiaries of his philanthropic activities.

“More than half a century ago, Sheikh Zayed envisioned Abu Dhabi having a world class aviation industry and infrastructure that is on par with the major cities of the world. Etihad Aviation Group is especially honoured, on the occasion of the one hundred years since the birth of Sheikh Zayed, to pay a tribute to his vision by promoting the values he embodied, and showcasing the impact he has had on the UAE as a whole, and in the aviation industry in particular.”
