Etihad Airways CEO James Hogan has said
that despite the economic slowdown advance bookings on the airline for the next
3 months are strong and growth targets will be met.
James Hogan said that those airlines
that were heavily dependent on corporate business were likely to be more
affected by the downturn rather than airlines like Etihad whose consumer base
was more diversified. He also added that the airline will continue to expand
its fleet and will purchase 205 aircraft in deals worth $43 billion.
