Dubai:
Etihad Airways said it has been named Best Airline — Business Class at the 26th Annual TTG Travel Awards 2015.
The prestigious award, voted for by the readers of TTG Asia, TTG China, TTG India, TTG mice, TTG-BT Mice China, TTG associations and TTG Asia Luxury, was presented to the airline at a gala ceremony in Bangkok, the airline said in a statement.
“We are delighted to have been recognised by TTG and the travel trade in the Asia Pacific region, who have voted Etihad Airways as ‘Best Airline — Business Class’,” said Peter Baumgartner, Chief Commercial Officer at Etihad Airways, said in a statement.
The Best Airline — Business Class award is an especially important accolade for Etihad Airways because of the highly competitive aviation landscape in the region, the statement added.
“The ground-breaking new Business Studios on our fleet of A380s and B787 Dreamliners, in particular, have redefined luxury air travel by offering an unprecedented level of style, comfort and hospitality that sets a whole new benchmark for business class travel worldwide,” Baumgartner said.
“Our travel trade partners are key to Etihad Airways’ success in the region and we are indebted to them for the unwavering support they have given the airline since we commenced flights to Bangkok, our first Asian destination, in April 2004,” Baumgartner added.
