Etihad Airways is The First Worldwide to Vaccinate Full Crew
Etihad Airways said all of it’s employees have now been vaccinated against COVID-19 and is the first airline to do so worldwide.
In Addition, 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.

Staff can now also receive the shot at mobile clinics at their workplace, and over 75 per cent of Etihad’s wider workforce have received at least one dose.
Meanwhile, Dubai’s Emirates Airline rolled out their drive on January 18, with priority being placed on its frontline aviation workforce, including cabin crew, flight deck and other operationally focused roles.
