Airline brands need a sense of place! A large unseen part of #airline brands are the cities & countries that they are associated with! These places give airlines roots, purpose & and a clear sense of identity! Take #abudhabi for example - the focus has been on building high quality infrastructure, attractions & a unique sense of place. It is a case of quality over sheer numbers! 📌Yas Island - for families & the young at heart 📌Saadiyat - for everything on the cultural side 📌 Religious tourism with Sheikh Zayed Mosque The Hindu temple is a good example of how you can attract niche segments as well - #india 📌 Events - corporate, music, sports & everything in between - Have you got your Coldplay tickets? Interesting to also take a glance at Abu Dhabi Airports recent 9 months traffic report 📌 Increase of passenger numbers of 31.2% YOY! But what is also important to note is the almost 50/50 split between point to point & connecting traffic! Airline Brands need a sense of place and time as well! And airports make a mega impact! Abu Dhabi is on the fast track! After-all, it is a super fast changing world out there! The Ferrari 🏎️ helps ;-) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PS: Abu Dhabi Airports Zayed International Airport’s new terminal will be one year old on the 13th Nov. Time does fly! #aviation #travel #brand

Etihad Airways may appear to be in the shadow of its Gulf neighbours but it is very much an important player in the long haul hub and spoke model. After a period of consolidation, they are now growing again with some interesting new routes. Flights from the UK to their Abu Dhabi hub operate from Heathrow and Manchester with up to 4 A380 services from Heathrow each day. Transit through Abu Dhabi and you can connect with over 90 destinations. Or just stay in the growing leisure market for the Abu Dhabi area and theme parks. Etihad have today announced 10 new routes for 2025. Of those, the most interesting for the UK market with one stop connections are Krabi and Chiang Mai in Thailand, Phnom Penh in Cambodia, Hanoi in Vietnam and Medan in Indonesia (Sumatra - for Orang-utan safaris). Are you thinking of travelling long haul in 2025? #exploremore #initforthelonghaul #whereyourjourneybegins

Qatar Airways, Etihad, Icelandair, Saudia, all of these airlines have one thing in common : they allow passengers to do a stopover. This means they allow customers to break their trip between two connecting flights throughout the network by staying multiple days at the city where the airline is based. With one of the most comprehensive Europe to Africa network, and serving some of the paradise island of the overseas territories Air France drives a lot of traffic through their Paris Charles de Gaulle hub. Paris is one of the most visited cities on earth. But the national carrier of the country does not offer a stopover program? Why is that ? We do not have the answer, because most of us do not work in leadership. The country is about to witness one of the most important sports events this summer. This would be ideal. And if it works, why not keep it? Why not allow customers to visit one of the most historically significant cities in Europe, for a few days whilst travelling with AF. There are plenty of hotels to choose from with various price ranges, and I am convinced at least a handful will be willing to sign a partnership with the airline. Especially given an existing partnership already exist with the giant Accor. So if you are from Air France leadership and are reading this, consider this : you will drive more traffic because people want to visit France and it can be expensive, and you will help the local economy as well! So what are you waiting for? #parisstopover #airfrance #culture #tourism #airtravel #france #paris

Middle Eastern airlines have long dominated the skies, with the likes of Emirates, Qatar Airways and Etihad setting global benchmarks for luxury travel. Saudi Arabia is now poised to join those high-flying regional ranks by introducing Riyadh Air | طيران الرياض, a new “world-class” airline set to serve over 100 destinations across Asia, Africa, Europe and the US by 2030. This is what to expect from the new airline when it takes to the skies in mid-2025.

6th June 2024 marks an important day for Emirates and Etihad. The airlines have entered a special agreement which allows clients to combine and book flights to Dubai and Abu Dhabi. So, how does it work? ✈ Fly into Dubai on an Emirates flight and depart from Abu Dhabi on an Etihad flight, or vice-versa. 🥂 Economy, Business and First Class tickets are eligible, but not Premium Economy. 📆 Flights booked before the 6th June are not eligible for rebooking/rerouting. The news is very much welcomed and will allow clients to reduce costs when flying out for business. #BusinessTravel #TravelNews #Aviation #Emirates #Etihad #BusinessTravelNews #CorporateTravel
