Abu Dhabi’s Etihad Airways vaccinates entire flight crew
Etihad Airways said all of its thousands of pilots and cabin crew have now been vaccinated against Covid-19. It said it was the first airline to hit the target. Etihad was part of the UAE’s Emergency Use Programme, in which hundreds of frontline staff were vaccinated as a priority by the health authorities. The airline later secured approval for its in-house medical centre to become an accredited vaccination clinic. “We proactively made the vaccine available to all our employees to not only help combat the effects of Covid-19 but to make travellers feel confident and reassured the next time they fly with us,” said its group CE Tony Douglas. “We are the only airline in the world to make Covid-19 testing mandatory for every passenger and crew member before every flight and now, we’re the first airline in the world with 100 per cent-vaccinated crew on board.” <br/>
