Etihad Airways, the national airline of the UAE, embraced the spirit of Eid during a visit to the Sheikh Khalifa Medical City in Abu Dhabi.

Pilots and cabin crew, in full uniform, distributed gifts to children at the hospital’s paediatric ward. Gifts were purchased using money donated by Etihad Airways’ employees at a Ramadan garage sale held at the airline’s head office.

The visit is part of the charitable and community initiatives carried out by Etihad Airways Sports and Social Committee during the holy month of Ramadan.

During the holy month, the Sports and Social Committee implemented several sports and community events which raised more than Dh280, 000 to support charitable causes both in the UAE and worldwide.

All events were organised under the theme of ‘Share your blessings this Ramadan’ and comprised an Iftar for 10,000 workers at the Saadiyat Accommodation Village, a Ramadan Charity Football Tournament, and tennis and table tennis open days. – TradeArabia News Service
