Etihad undergoes new organisational structure

Etihad undergoes new organisational structure
The airline will concentrate on its fleet of widebody aircraft

UAE - Mubasher: Etihad Airways has announced a new organisational structure under which the airline will continue its transformation into a mid-sized and full-service carrier amid the challenges imposed by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

With a new structure, the airline will concentrate on its fleet of widebody aircraft, continue developing its industry-leading health and hygiene programme Etihad Wellness, and focus on innovation and sustainability, according to a press release on Sunday.

The new operational model will also lead to some changes in the executive leadership team.

Commenting on the organisational restructuring, the Group CEO of Etihad Aviation Group, Tony Douglas, said: "As a responsible business, we can no longer continue to incrementally adapt to a marketplace that we believe has changed for the foreseeable future. That is why we are taking definitive and decisive action to adjust our business and position ourselves proudly as a mid-sized carrier."

Douglas added: "The first stage of this is an operational model change that will see us restructure our senior leadership team and our organisation to allow us to continue delivering on our mandate, ensuring long-term sustainability, and contributing to the growth and prominence of Abu Dhabi."
