Etihad Airways bags Adam Smith accolades

Dubai / Emirates Business

Following a string of recent awards for its funding activities and treasury practice, Etihad Airways swept top honours at the Treasury Today Adam Smith Awards in London. Etihad Airways’ treasury team collected the highest honour, winning the Top Treasury Team Award for overall excellence. The team also picked up the awards for Best Financing Solution and Best Cash Management Solution.
Winning the Top Treasury Team Award, against a field of strong international competition, Etihad Airways’ Treasury Department was recognised for its innovative transformation and centralisation programmes that have made an outstanding contribution to the airline.
Presented at a gala luncheon in The City of London’s historic Gibson Hall, the awards were collected by Ricky Thirion, Etihad Airways’ Group Treasurer; and Deputy Treasurer, Adam Boukadida.
James Hogan, Etihad Aviation Group President and Chief Executive Officer, said: “Innovation is at the heart of everything we do at Etihad Airways. These latest awards are a testimony to the talent in our finance team. Our strategy is clear and finance is a core enabler of that strategy – a business model that focuses on organic growth and minority investments in airlines around the world. Our equity partner strategy is creating a total which is greater than the sum of its parts, a grouping working together to improve revenues, reduce costs and uncover exciting new business synergies.”
