Etihad Airways sponsors Al Diar Hotel Group promotion

For a second consecutive year Etihad will partner with Al Diar Hotels to offer hotel guests the opportunity to win complimentary return air tickets to any of its worldwide destinations. From June 15 till August 31 2005, guests staying at any Al Diar Hotel will have their name automatically entered into a raffle draw to win the airline tickets. Draws will be held at Al Diar hotels and resorts and lucky winners will receive a complimentary Coral zone ticket to any of Etihad's destinations.

"We are very pleased to once again participate in Al Diar Summer promotion and look forward to building on the success of last year's promotion," said Mr. Raymond Korban, Etihad Airways General Manager for the UAE and Oman. "Promotions such as this are an ideal opportunity for us to partner with the tourism industry and showcase not only Abu Dhabi as a year round leisure destination, but also as a gateway for travel between East and West. We look forward to welcoming the winners on board and providing them with a unique Etihad experience that goes far beyond travel."

As Etihad Airways goes from strength to strength, the airline has been pursuing an ambitious expansion plan and now serves 17 key destinations worldwide. The airline is also doubling in size, both in terms of increased frequency and exciting new routes. Its development in a short span of time proves the airline has the determination, strength and enthusiasm to build an elite, international airline and sustain its growth momentum.
