Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, is celebrating its 50,000 Facebook fans mark by giving one lucky fan 50,000 Etihad Guest Miles.

For a chance to win, fans need only enter their details in the page’s promotions tab over the next two weeks.

Peter Baumgartner, Chief Commercial Officer at Etihad Airways, said: “We are a people business, an award-winning airline, and we are delighted to have reached this social media milestone of 50,000 Facebook fans.  Our fans are hugely important to us and our social media strategy will continue to be about engaging them – on the ground, in the air and online.”

50,000 Guest Miles in Etihad Airways’ Etihad Guest frequent flyer program is enough for one Pearl Business return ticket from Abu Dhabi to Larnaca (37,152 miles), or two Coral Economy return tickets from Abu Dhabi to Mumbai (45,026 miles), or one return upgrade from Coral Economy to Pearl Business on the Abu Dhabi to Geneva route (47,260 miles).

Etihad Airways has also announced new features for its Facebook page, including a ‘fan of the month’ scheme, a guest affairs tab plus regular competitions and giveaways. These innovations are part of the airline’s plan to continuously improve the Facebook fan experience.
