“The Middle East is an important market offering us steadily growing potential. We are also opening our first hotel in this region, the Swissôtel Makkah in Saudi Arabia, at the start of next year – another good reason to cooperate with a successful Arabian airline.”

As the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, Etihad Airlines now carries more than 17 million guests to more than 50 destinations.
