etihad airways’ james hogan named one of 25 most influential business travel executives
James Hogan, President and CEO of Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, has been recognized as one of the 25 most influential business travel executives by Business Travel News (BTN). The 2015 list of industry honorees was announced Tuesday night at The BTN Group’s Business Travel Trends & Forecasts conference in New York City. “BTN identified Mr. Hogan early in the year as a person to watch,” said Elizabeth West, Business Travel News’ Editor-In-Chief. “Completing Etihad’s purchase of a 49 per cent stake in Alitalia last December underscored his dedication to a bold equity alliance strategy. This, along with his continued effort to place downward pressure on long-haul airfares, have earned him a spot on our annual list.”
James Hogan said: “Etihad Airways and our 27,000 employees worldwide are reinventing the air travel experience, bringing competition, world-class hospitality and revolutionary new products to our guests, while providing access to parts of the world that would otherwise go underserved or unserved.”
