Etihad Airways moved its three daily flight departures to Abu Dhabi at London Heathrow from Terminal Three to Terminal Four.   The carrier opened a new lounge for premium customers across from the gates usually used for flight departures.   To celebrate the move, a judge from the hit television show the X-Factor welcomed the first Etihad passengers and talked at length as they checked in.

Etihad Chief Commercial Officer said “The new Etihad check-in facilities and lounge are among the best available at London Heathrow.”  Peter Baumgartner said passengers will experience world class service from the moment they enter the terminal until the end of their flight.   Etihad Airways flies to more than 55 destinations around the world.
