Etihad Airways may have experienced losses to the extent of US1.87 billion in net losses for 2016.

2016 will have marked the first time for Etihad to report any losses, as they have just previously earned US103 million profits in the year before that.

The losses have allegedly been due to payments in impairments, field hedging as well as charges on specific assets and exposures.

What about 2017?

Group Chief Executive Officer, Ray Gammel, stated that the constantly evolving competitive environment is going to impact the performance of the airline in 2017.
