Etihad Airways has marked the occasion of the UAE’s 46th National Day with a series of activities across the globe.
It has become a tradition in recent years for the aviation and travel group to observe the birth of the nation with different programs including staff celebrations at its headquarters and lounges at Abu Dhabi International Airport, on flights departing Abu Dhabi, and across its social media channels. The EAG headquarters and Etihad Airways Centre in the capital was lit up with the colors of the UAE flag.
To commemorate National Day, the UAE’s national airline has launched promotional fares offering discounts on ticket sales to 46 destinations purchased between 26 November and 3 December 2017, for travel between 7 January and 31 May, 2018. The airline will also offer a 46 per cent reduction in mileage redemption of a select products in the Etihad Guest Rewards Shop between 1 and 5 December.
The celebrations also feature a specially aired video in which Manchester City FC’s leading players send a congratulatory National Day message to the people of the UAE.
On the other side of the world, the occasion was marked with the screening of images of Abu Dhabi at Nasdaq Times Square for four hours on 2 December.
At Abu Dhabi International Airport, Etihad Airways’ staff were wearing and distributing National Day scarves and pins to the airline’s guests, while soft toy camels decorated the baggage halls.
