Hear from the winners themselves

Winning a BTME Award, which we were lucky to do for 21 consecutive years since 2002, reflects the effort and commitment of everyone at Dubai Duty Free. As an industry benchmark for excellence, the BTME Awards is a celebration of the region’s best, and being shortlisted for and potentially winning this award provides businesses with recognition and validation. It is also a great way to boost employee morale and show that their hard work and dedication have paid off

Colm McLoughlin, Executive Vice Chairman and CEO of Dubai Duty Free

Industry awards are an important platform for brands to be recognised and celebrated, and we were thrilled to be awarded with the ‘Airline with the Best Cabin Crew’ and ‘Best First Class’ in the Business Traveller Middle East Awards in 2022. We appreciate the opportunity to be nominated for, and win awards, which then showcases our achievements to a wider audience and builds trust within our community. Our teams at Etihad work hard to create and deliver an industry-leading experience for our guests, and we truly value being recognised by the industry for our innovation, hard work and commitment.
