      Etihad Airways unveils luxury new partnership

      Etihad Airways has announced an exciting luxury new partnership.
      The Abu Dhabi-based airline unveiled its new collaboration with Armani/Casa on a collection that has been designed by Giorgio Armani.
      Starting in December 2022, the products from the new Etihad and Armani/Casa collaboration known as ‘The Constellation Collection’ and inspired by the stars will debut across select aircraft from the UAE national carrier’s fleet.
      It’s a collection which, showcases the “Emirati heritage” of the carrier, but will also showcase ” a clear vision for our future”, according to Tony Douglas, Etihad’s group chief executive officer.
      “Today we unveil a completely new and elevated way to fly with Etihad Airways – an experience defined by our Emirati heritage yet shaped by a clear vision for our future,” he said. “Known globally for its Italian luxury and elegance, Armani/Casa is the ideal brand partner to create an unparalleled level of bespoke service and refinement for our guests.”

      The Constellation Collection includes a new dining service that features ceramics, glassware, cutlery and serving ware, as well as premium textiles for a revamped inflight experience in its business class cabins.
      The dining service features objects made with mixed materials and embossed patterns. The airline said that the colour palette of the collection “reflects the surroundings of Abu Dhabi”.
      The dark green hues in the collection represent the region’s date palm trees, while the aquamarine colours represent the mangroves. Finally, the slate shades in the collection highlight the “modernity of the iconic Abu Dhabi skyline”.
      Sustainability is also a major factor in the new collection, something the Abu Dhabi carrier has been championing in 2022. According to Etihad, the material used has reduced equipment weight by up to 10 per cent, which results in less fuel burn and fewer emissions by its aircraft.
      The premium textiles range includes a matching pillowcase and duvet set that will be available to business-class guests and will feature Armani/Casa signature designs.
      Guests on longer flights can also avail of the new memory foam mattress which can be rolled out on the fully-flat bed in business class.

      This Emirati pilot just made history in the UAE

      An Etihad Airways Emirati pilot has just made history in the UAE.
      Reaching new heights (quite literally), Captain Aisha Al Mansoori has become the UAE’s first female Emirati Captain in a commercial airline.
      The groundbreaking appointment for Captain Aisha has come after years of hard work and training.
      The pilot first joined the Etihad Cadet Pilot programme in 2007, being one of only two Emirati females in her batch. After three years of training, Captain Aisha graduated from the programme in 2010 and took her first flight on an Etihad Airbus A320 to Amman, Jordan.
      Captain Aisha has gone on to climb the ranks, completing the required flying hours to become Senior First Officer and she also become the first female UAE national to fly the superjumbo passenger aircraft the Airbus A380.

      Now, the 33-year-old has risen to the ranks of Captain, becoming the first Emirati female to do so for a commercial airline, having completed a rigorous training programme with Etihad and undergone the requisite flying hours to be considered for the title. As well as this, Captain Aisha passed the UAE General Civil Aviation Authority’s theoretical knowledge and flying exams successfully to officially become the first Emirati female Captain to hold an Air Transport Pilot License in the UAE.
      The appointment comes just ahead of Emirati Women’s Day on August 28, 2022, which is when Captain Aisha is set to commence flying duties as a Captain at Etihad.
      “I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to join Etihad’s Cadet Pilot programme and grow my career over the years with Etihad,” Captain Aisha said of her history-making appointment. “I am thankful for the tremendous support I have received from my instructors at Etihad and for their guidance through my training, which has shaped my skills and prepared me for the rank of Captain.”
      It’s a milestone Captain Aisha hopes will also inspire others to follow their passions.
      “I am proud to be the first female Emirati to be a Captain in a commercial airline, and I hope I will be an inspiration to young women to follow this career path,” she added.
      Mohammad Al Bulooki, Chief Operating Officer, Etihad Aviation Group, also shared Etihad’s pride in Captain Aisha’s groundbreaking appointment, adding the aviation group is committed to supporting Emirati women to grow in the industry.
      “Etihad is extremely proud of Captain Aisha’s achievement and the trailblazing role she is playing for women in aviation in the UAE. She will no doubt be the first of many, and Etihad looks forward to welcoming more female pilots to the rank of Captain in the future,” he said. “Etihad remains committed to Emiratisation and to elevating Emirati women to play their part in the growth of the aviation industry.
      “Aviation is gender blind, and to prove oneself, Etihad’s pilots undergo intensive exams and meet strict requirements on flying hours to ensure the highest standards of training in international aviation are upheld. Aisha earned her rank and will no doubt inspire her fellow Emiratis and young women around the world to follow their dreams in aviation.”
