Etihad Launches Mobile App for iPhones

Etihad Airways, the national airline of the UAE, has launched a mobile application for iPhones, enabling business travellers to organise and manage their journey with even greater ease.

The Etihad Airways mobile app is simple and enjoyable to use, providing comprehensive trip management capabilities by taking full advantage of the latest innovations in mobile technology. Guests can organise their journey on the app, including booking tickets, checking-in and viewing the status of their flight.

The airline also partnered with Abu Dhabi Airports Company, allowing guests the chance to navigate their way around Abu Dhabi International Airport using indoor maps – a first in the Middle East. The mobile app also incorporates high-resolution enhanced seat maps, giving passengers a detailed layout of the cabin and their chosen seat.

“Etihad Airways is dedicated to delivering excellence in every single guest interaction, be it face to face or on digital channels,” says Etihad Airways chief commercial officer Peter Baumgartner. “We strive to provide innovative solutions that ensure our guests enjoy a seamless world-class service. We are confident that our guests will be delighted with the speed of the app, its ease of use and its considerable functionality.”

The Etihad Airways app allows passengers to check in for their flight by using their mobile phone to scan their passport page. Travellers can also pay for their tickets by scanning their credit card, eliminating the need to enter passenger details and payment information manually.

The simple booking process allows guests to compare multiple fare choices and upgrade options. In the ‘My Trips’ section guests can view all their past and upcoming trips, which are automatically linked to their Etihad Guest reward program account. Boarding passes can be viewed from the app or downloaded directly to iOS Wallet.

The new Etihad Airways iPhone app is available now to download via the App Store. www.etihad.com
