“Operating the first flight of Etihad gave me a sense of pride, achievement, honour, and privilege. It feels like it was just yesterday, and I still feel the same excitement flying for the airline. It’s a privilege to have contributed to the growth of Etihad over the years.” – Captain Driss on Etihad’s inaugural flight in November 2003. He started his journey with Etihad as a Captain, and has since served as an instructor to test pilots and fleet manager.
