One thought on “Middle Eastern Airlines Sweep Up the Skytrax World Airline Awards

  1. Our experiences with Etihad have been wonderful, staffing and food and beverage have been exceptional and punctuality has been a feature . The comfort of the aircraft generally and the seating configurations have been all you could ask for.
