Etihad Airways is the new and official national airline of the United Arab Emirates, based in the UAE's capital, Abu Dhabi.

A truly 21st Century airline, Etihad sets out to be different and better - an airline designed to meet the demands of a rapidly changing world. You will find evidence of our fresh approach everywhere. For example, from the moment you board an Etihad Airbus A330-200, you'll be welcomed with genuine warmth and respect as an individual guest of the airline, in whichever Zone (Diamond, Pearl or Coral) you are seated.

In fact, Etihad 's whole philosophy is built around the needs of our customers. We are committed to constant improvement. And to help us develop and maintain the highest possible quality of service, Etihad's guests are positively encouraged to give us as much feedback - critical or constructive - as they like.

Naturally, Etihad is setting the most rigorous security and operational standards. The airline conforms to the most up to date industry standard (JAROPS) and is ahead of many other carriers in this respect.

We welcome you warmly and confidently to Etihad - a new, fresher and better kind of airline.

Over the past 18 months Gulf Air has gone through an incredible transformation. We've introduced 5 star onboard chefs and the world's first Sky Nanny service. We've upgraded our check-in facilities and transformed our lounges. And throughout it all we've held on to our fabled Arabian hospitality.

Gulf Air's highly trained crew is made up of more than 60 nationalities, speaking 73 different languages thus reflecting the truly multinational nature of the airline. Our cabin crew are supported by advanced in-flight entertainment systems and programmes, fine food & wines and a unique range of duty free items. So sit back, relax and enjoy our friendly in-flight service.

Next time you fly First Class with us you're in for a really mouthwatering experience. In addition to the warm and friendly service from our cabin crew you'll receive individual attention from our inflight chef.
