Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, has signed up as platinum sponsor of the Australia Arab Chamber of Commerce & Industry (AACCI) for the next three years.
James Hogan, Etihad Airways’ president and chief executive officer said: “As the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, we are committed to fostering closer relations between Australia and the UAE.
“The establishment of a formal partnership with the Australia Arab Chamber of Commerce & Industry is a significant milestone in realising this goal.
“We look forward to working with the chamber’s executive team to develop further opportunities for diplomatic, business and cultural exchange.”
