Etihad successfully completes IATA Operational Safety Audit

These results demonstrate Etihad’s commitment to maintaining the highest operational safety and airworthiness standards to provide its guests with the safest and most reliable travel experience.

Mohammad Al Bulooki, chief operating officer and accountable manager at Etihad Airways said: “At Etihad, safety is our number one priority and is fully embedded in everything we do. We are extremely proud of our people for being able to maintain such an impressive compliance record for the last 17 years - even throughout the entire COVID-19 pandemic - bringing this feat to a completely new level." 

Earlier in September this year, the UAE’s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) also recognised the effectiveness of Etihad’s Safety Management System (SMS) with one of the highest scores ever achieved in the UAE, acknowledging the strength of its safety culture and the utilisation of industry-leading technologies, such as artificial intelligence, to further enhance the safety of its operations.
