Etihad Airways has launched a series of transformative community outreach initiatives in Sri Lanka. These efforts are a cornerstone of the airline’s broader Corporate Social Responsibility strategy dedicated to humanitarian aid, education, and community empowerment, fostering meaningful, sustainable change in the communities it serves.

“Rooted in Etihad’s core values of unity and community, these efforts reflect our ongoing commitment to bringing people together for a shared purpose. With a firm belief that unity is a catalyst for meaningful progress, Etihad continues to foster collaboration, empower communities, and create a lasting impact wherever we operate,” said Dr. Nadia Bastaki, Chief People & Corporate Affairs Officer at Etihad Airways.

“Etihad’s CSR efforts in Sri Lanka are part of our global commitment to making a positive impact. Last year, the airline’s community and volunteer programmes reached over 290,000 beneficiaries. As the UAE declares 2025 the Year of Community, we are proud to extend our efforts beyond the UAE, supporting communities across our global network,” Dr. Nadia added.

Etihad employees from various divisions contributed to these initiatives, showcasing the airline’s core values. Among the projects, support was provided to St. Joseph’s Orphanage in Colombo, where living conditions for 500 children were enhanced with new facilities and essential resources.

Additionally, Etihad made significant contributions to Hendeniya School in Kandy, furthering educational opportunities for orphaned children. The airline’s commitment also extended to infrastructural improvements at Hendeniya Mosque.

During the Holy Month of Ramadan, Etihad Airways emphasized values of compassion and generosity through various CSR initiatives, demonstrating its dedication to making a positive impact in the communities served.
