Etihad Airways gets Financial Planning and Analysis Award

Etihad Airways, the national airline of the UAE, has been honored at the gtnews Awards for Global Corporate Treasury and Finance, which recognizes best practice and projects within the global corporate treasury and finance sector.
The Abu Dhabi-based airline’s financial planning and control team was presented with the Financial Planning and Analysis Award in London for best practice in financial planning and long-term planning.
The team was credited by judges for the rollout of a new decentralized controlled process that utilizes its cloud-based planning tool, Adaptive Insights, significantly enhancing and shortening the planning cycle.
The judges said the new process has “instilled discipline and enabled Etihad Airways to establish a roadmap to improve company performance significantly.”

“The Etihad Airways Finance Planning and Control team has contributed to the success of the airline. This award recognizes the impact the decentralized planning process has had across the company.”
