Platform features real-time booking tools, performance tracking and tiered perks
Abu Dhabi-based Etihad Airways has rolled out its new digital corporate travel programme, providing companies with solutions and tools to access their entire travel management suite through a single platform.
The new digital-first platform, named Etihad for Business, claims to "put control directly in corporate hands", so organisations can access contract details, monitor travel spend and manage everything from real-time booking tools and performance tracking to expense management and benefit redemptions via one simple interface.
With this roll-out, Etihad joins other carriers across the GCC in offering digitally integrated corporate travel services, as airlines compete for growing travel demand.
Business travel in the Middle East is expanding at a faster pace than the global average, reaching US$18.1 billion in 2024, and is expected to grow by 6.1 per cent year-on-year in 2025, according to B2B online booking platform Tumodo, which saw business travel bookings rise 40% across the Middle East and North (MENA) in the first half of 2025.

Etihad said the platform also offers a dedicated portal for businesses to manage their travel plans and access customised benefits, while larger organisations are catered for with access to features such as account management and bespoke travel options.
Commenting on the launch, Javier Alija, Vice President Global Sales & Distribution at Etihad Airways, said: ""Business travel management should be straightforward, not complicated. Our portal delivers exactly that: a user-friendly experience that makes it easy for companies to maximise the value of their travel programmes.
