Etihad Airlines aims to stabilize its operation of "the best in the world" and launches a new LCC | the latest information tourism vision of the tourism industry.

Mr. Rice Field Mr. Etihad Airlines (EY) Japan Branch General Manager Takeo Inamada recently accepted an interview with this newspaper about the company's current position and future strategy. EY, under the leadership of its predecessor CEO, pushed ahead with feature initiatives such as enhanced partnerships through aggressive introduction of large aircraft and funding from other companies, but has now changed management as its operations deteriorate and is pushing ahead with a reconstruction plan from 2017 to five years. With regard to the current situation of the rice farm, "the original strategy is to expand the route, but now it has become more robust, better than before (for customers), with the best as the goal of solid management." The Japanese route was originally called "better as a number," indicating the policy of not missing opportunities such as the introduction of new equipment and the opening of new routes in the future.

　By the end of December 2015, EY had cut its 121aircraft to 108 as of August, according to information posted to investors on its website. The types of equipment have also been reduced from 15 to 6. At present, 34 B787 aircraft are used as the axis, with an average age of 5.7 years as the weapon route. In the future, we also plan to accept the A350 aircraft, and if some of the equipment brought by this is decommissioned and promoted, the age of the aircraft will be even younger.

　In addition, the number of employees, but not necessarily due to reconstruction efforts, fell to 2520 in August from the end of December 15, according to the same investor profile. In addition, the rice farm also said that the cooperation has also shifted from funded links to a "smart partnership" based on code sharing. It is reported that the establishment of cooperative relations with different industries such as hotel chains is also making progress. The re-recognition of cooperation with airlines and the active sale of financiers' flights increased the share of EY flights in sales at that time.

　The Japanese route currently takes the Narita line on the B787-9 plane and the B787-10 plane on the central route of Beijing. Competing with Emirates Airlines (EK), Qatar Airways (QR), Turkish Airlines (TK), Cathay Pacific Airways (CX), Thai International Airways (TG), etc., in terms of business travel demand, in addition to Abu Dhabi with strong demand in the energy industry, there are also Calvcoste regions such as Kuwait, Bahrain, Cairo and so on. And absorbed the demand of Eastern Europe and so on.

　On the other hand, in terms of leisure demand, mainly major cities in Europe, "there have been some places in Egypt this year." The goal is to arouse demand for Abu Dhabi, in addition to promoting the embassy to open a tourism office in Japan, for all connecting passengers in Abu Dhabi, including economy class, two-night hotel "stopover activities" have been offered free of charge since April this year. Although there are topics such as the movement between airports and hotels, it will continue to promote "a truly Arab culture that is different from Dubai and can see luxurious things together" after next year.

　In addition, with regard to the future, although there are no major route expansion plans, the idea of obtaining business travel needs on routes such as Baku and Tribesi further develops different industries from existing customers. In addition, the 2020 Dubai World Expo will be held between Abu Dhabi and Dubai, so we will call on businesses and consumers to use it.

　In addition, the headquarters level also decided to establish a joint venture with LCC Air Arabian, which is based on Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates, to form a joint venture called Alain Abu Dhabi. Although no details have been released, the launch of the new LCC is "a dramatic development for the aviation industry in the United Arab Emirates and will be a greater advantage". In addition, the rice farm also hinted that NDC may also be introduced to the Japanese market in the near future.
