About

A mark of their commitment to quality throughout the organisation, Etihad recently became the first UAE-based airline to receive the highly coveted five-star rating by prestigious airline rating organisation SKYTRAX, and is now part of an elite group of only nine airlines rated as such globally. To maintain such consistently high standards, the level of performance from all members of all Etihad Aviation Group companies is expected to be incredibly high. Etihad Aviation Group was formed in recent years as part of a corporate reshuffle which places Etihad Airways, Etihad Airways Engineering, Etihad Airport Services, Hala Group and Airline Equity Partners under one coordinated business function, and in May 2016 Henning zur Hausen took over as general counsel and company secretary of this huge corporate entity. He is an ideal fit, boasting experience of international air operations gained from previous roles at Luxembourg-based air cargo firm Cargolux and Lufthansa Cargo.
