Etihad Airways has announced plans to establish a dedicated Revenue Accounting Centre of Excellence in Al Ain, Abu Dhabi, which will provide vital services to Etihad and its partner airlines, and also create job opportunities for more than 1,000 Emiratis over the next three years.
The centre will be a global leader in revenue accounting, offering a range of competitively priced services that will bring cost savings and operational efficiencies to airlines. The centre will offer access to global best practices, proven techniques and the latest airline developments in order to optimise results, redirect valuable internal resources, and focus their best people on core business.
James Hogan, president and chief executive officer of Etihad Airways, said: “A range of outsourced support services will be offered by the centre, with a focus on optimising processes and platforms to boost efficiency, and combining back office functions to attain economies of scale.
“This project is also aligned with a long-term commitment to grow our Emirati workforce. It is Etihad Airways ‘most ambitious Emiratisation project to date and follows the success of existing programmes for cadet pilots, engineers and graduate managers, together with our Al Ain Contact Centre.”
More than 500 Emiratis will be hired during the project’s first year of operation. Total employee numbers are forecast to exceed 800 by the end of 2016, and more than 1,000 by the end of 2017, depending on the level of demand from participating airlines around the world.
