"Etihad Airways is proud to maintain a strong partnership with the UK's travel trade, a partnership which has been in place since we launched our first flights to and from London Heathrow in 2004. The TTG award is a tremendous accolade for Etihad Airways, because the UK is one of the world's most competitive markets."

Etihad Airways currently operates six daily services to the UK, with direct routes to London Heathrow, Manchester and Edinburgh, which launched on 8t June this year. London Heathrow was also chosen as the first destination for Etihad Airways ground-breaking Airbus A380 when the aircraft was introduced into service at the end of 2014.
