ETIHAD AIRWAYS REVENUE
INCREASES 29 PER CENT IN
Q3 2014
Etihad Airways has reported total revenues of US$1.8 billion for the third
quarter of 2014, an impressive increase of 29 per cent year-on-year, achieved
on the back of accelerated passenger and cargo growth during the summer.
A total of 3.9 million passengers travelled with Etihad Airways between July and
September this year, 30 per cent more than the three million passengers from
the same period in 2013.
Etihad Cargo also outperformed the global market, carrying 144,498 tonnes of
freight and mail during the third quarter, a year-on-year increase of nine per
cent, on only one per cent capacity growth.
The growth in passenger demand and revenue during the three month period
once again outstripped the airline’s capacity intake, highlighting the strength of
its long-term growth strategy.
Etihad Airways remains on track to achieve its strongest ever annual results,
having carried 10.5 million passengers and almost 415,000 tonnes of cargo
between January and September 2014.
Organic growth was supported by codeshare and equity alliance partnerships in
the third quarter of 2014, delivering an estimated 1.1 million passengers onto Etihad
Airways flights (+41 per cent year-on-year) and contributing revenue of US$352
million, which represented 27 per cent of the airline’s passenger revenue.

• Q2 financial results show continued improvement, driven by US
carriers
• But worldwide airline share prices fell 4 per cent in September,
reflecting investor concerns over weak economic data in some
regions and the spread of the Ebola virus
• Jet fuel prices eased further in September as increased supply
and a fragile demand outlook pushed crude oil prices down to
levels not seen since mid-2012
• US passenger yields remain up on a year ago, but weakness
continues in other regions
• Air travel volumes continue to expand strongly and the trend
in air freight volumes remains positive, supported by improving
conditions in Asia and the US, including a rebound in trade
volumes
• Growth in available seats slowed further in August to an annualised
rate of 3.5 per cent, below expansion in demand
• Passenger load factors rose on the back of strong expansion
in volumes, but air freight load factors eroded some of the
improvement in previous months with a 0.4 per cent fall in August
compared to July

Etihad Airways encourages
staff to ‘Give Together’
The sustainability agenda of Etihad Airways is framed under the
TOGETHER initiative which comprises four key elements; Growing,
Working Giving and Greener. The ‘Giving’ component incorporates
the airline’s efforts to support the wellbeing of local and global
communities, and recognises that its employees can play a major
role in support of these efforts.
Recognising this, Etihad Airways’ sustainability team recently
launched the iVolunteer program, a wide-ranging initiative to
encourage employees to engage in community-related activities
and support the work of local charities across the UAE and in other
parts of the world.
The first group initiative to be organised under iVolunteer was the
participation in a community support activity in Abu Dhabi using
funds donated directly by the airline. Fifty volunteers from the
program donated their spare time to shop for gifts which were
distributed to 330 women living in a workers’ community. The
volunteers also distributed hot meals in collaboration with Abu Dhabi
Cause Connect, a UAE-based community group that is dedicated to
increasing creative collaboration between causes, communities and
companies.
To encourage further collaboration the sustainability team held a
leadership workshop for staff enrolled in the iVolunteer program,
with motivational speaker Jules Lewis providing examples of
her involvement in various community and corporate social
responsibility activities around the world.

OUR COMMUNITY
Etihad Airways continues to drive economic growth
According to the latest study by leading UK think tank, Oxford
Economics, Etihad Airways and its partners continue to play a
crucial role in supporting and driving economic growth in the UAE.
The airline’s growth and sustained commercial success are good
for Abu Dhabi. The economic contributions are classified into four
key areas: direct (within Etihad Airways), indirect (suppliers to Etihad
Airways), induced (spending of direct and indirect employees), and
catalytic (impacts on other industries).
The Etihad Airways, together with its equity partners, subsidiaries
and joint-ventures, contributed a total of US$15.6 billion to Abu
Dhabi’s GDP in 2013. This represents 12.8 per cent of the non-oil GDP
of the Emirate. In addition, it supported 180,000 jobs in total.
Direct economic contribution:
The airline contributed US$3.3 billion to Abu Dhabi’s GDP in 2013.
Indirect economic contribution:
Etihad Airways made an indirect economic contribution of US$1.7
billion and supported an additional 23,323 jobs in 2013 through fuel
purchases, maintenance and repair, airport rental and landing fees,
marketing, advertising, IT ventures and communications.
Induced economic contribution:
An induced GDP contribution of US$1.6 billion and 22,296 additional
jobs can be attributed to money spent during 2013 by employees of
Etihad Airways and its suppliers.
Catalytic economic contribution:
Etihad Airways played an important role in improving air links
between Abu Dhabi and the rest of the global economy, and
the airline’s expanding network was a key factor in encouraging
businesses to invest in the Emirate and the UAE. These activities
provided a catalytic economic contribution of nearly US$9 billion,
and supported nearly 118,484 jobs in 2013.
Etihad Airways was also a key contributor to the development
and growth of tourism in the UAE, carrying 11.5 million passengers
through its hub in Abu Dhabi.
