"Etihad Airways is proud to maintain a strong partnership with the UK's travel trade, a partnership which has been in place since we launched our first flights to and from London Heathrow in 2004. The TTG award is a tremendous accolade for Etihad Airways, because the UK is one of the world's most competitive markets."
