Etihad attributed its record results to the carrier's growing network of codeshares and strategic partnerships, which together fed 800,000 passengers into Etihad's network over the past six months and contributing USD281 million.

Etihad Airways: "We are also encouraged by the performance of our equity partner airlines. Air Seychelles has made significant strides towards profitability in its own right and I am confident it will break even this year. Last month, airberlin, which is now our most important commercial partner, reported faster than expected progress of its shape & size program and a positive outlook for its financial performance," James Hogan, CEO.
