Abu Dhabi: Etihad Airways is offering benefits for frontline heroes that include a 15 per cent discount on the airline’s flights and preferential rates for Etihad Holidays’ range of travel packages.
Guests will be welcomed at a special dedicated airport check-in area at Abu Dhabi International Airport, and offered a 15 kg complimentary excess baggage allowance to make travelling easier, the airline said in a statement.
“It’s clear we have a huge debt of gratitude to the frontline heroes who have worked so tirelessly and selflessly to keep our country going. Those individuals have my utmost respect and it is a great honour that Etihad can give back to this community,” said Tony Douglas, Group Chief Executive Officer, Etihad Aviation Group, in a statement.
