Etihad Airways has been awarded the Diamond status in the inaugural ‘APEX Health Safety, powered by SimpliFlying’ audit, for efforts in ensuring the highest standards of cleanliness and sanitization.
The award aims to help re-build confidence in air travel by creating a global standard for health and safety measures. The judges took into consideration the implementation of Covid-prevention measures across the customer journey.
“Etihad has demonstrated its resilience and designed industry-leading measures to combat the pandemic, including the Etihad Wellness programme,” commented Terry Daly, Executive Director Guest Experience, Brand & Marketing, Etihad Aviation Group.
“In the face of Covid-19 adversity, Etihad has soared to new heights in passenger service as a 2021 APEX Five Star Airline, and in customer wellbeing as a Diamond certified airline with hospital-grade health safety,” remarked Dr. Joe Leader, CEO, APEX.
“Etihad Airways has raised the bar for health safety standards in the industry by initiatives such as Wellness Ambassadors, free PCR tests and using AI to identify high-risk passengers at its hub in Abu Dhabi,” observed Shashank Nigam, CEO, SimpliFlying.
Etihad also provides complimentary wellness insurance to all guests, no exceptions, as further evidence of its commitment to passenger safety and wellbeing.
