Etihad Airways partners with Magic Bus to support children

Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, has partnered once again with the community development charity Magic Bus on its mission to support children and youth in India.

Mumbai-based Etihad Airways staff were joined by a team from the airline’s Head Office in Abu Dhabi for a three-day community service project which saw the construction of a sports field, weatherproof outdoor shelter and vegetable garden for Magic Bus in the city.

The 15-strong volunteer group comprised a mixture of Emirati and international staff, who were also joined by 20 young people from the local community supported by Magic Bus.

The project was organised in celebration of Universal Children’s Day. Children and youth supported by Magic Bus in Mumbai, including those who participated in the project, will benefit from the new facilities as part of the charity’s activity-based learning curriculum.

Hareb Almuhairy, Etihad Aviation Group Senior Vice President Corporate and International Affairs, said: “This latest initiative reflects how our staff constantly give their talents and time as volunteers to support local communities around the world. Etihad Airways embraces their enthusiasm, and is grateful for their support, further demonstrating our commitment and close links with charities through sustainable and tangible projects such as this one in India.”
