Etihad flying with fully vaccinated crews
The Abu Dhabi-based airline was the first in the world to vaccinate all of its pilots and cabin crew against the coronavirus.
Etihad Airways has become the first airline in the world to have an entirely vaccinated workforce.
All active pilots and cabin crew for the United Arab Emirates’ flagship carrier have received the COVID-19 vaccine, the airline said in a Wednesday press release.
Etihad Aviation Group’s CEO said he took the vaccine himself on Jan. 4 to inspire his employees to do the same.
“I chose very early on to be vaccinated to demonstrate my own support of the national vaccination program and to encourage everyone at Etihad who was eligible for the vaccine to receive it as soon as possible,” said Tony Douglas. "I would like to thank the entire Etihad family for everything they have done to help us reach this milestone.”
