“Etihad Airways’ operations in Germany are crucial to our network strategy,” said Etihad Airways President and Chief Executive Officer, James Hogan. “We have invested heavily in the German market and now operate 25 flights a week from three German hubs to Abu Dhabi, and onwards to more than 70 destinations throughout Africa, the Far East, Australasia and the Subcontinent. Following our recent strategic partnership with airberlin, improved connectivity over Abu Dhabi, and new route launches, we look forward to Philip taking up his strategically important role. He will be instrumental in achieving continued success in the months and years ahead.”

Since 2004 Etihad Airways has carried more than 1.8 million passengers on its German routes. The airline inaugurated flights to Munich in 2004, Frankfurt in 2006 and Düsseldorf in 2011.
