Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), is showing its support for Autism Awareness Month. Highlighting the need for increased awareness and understanding for autism, Etihad Airways joined thousands of businesses, buildings and iconic landmarks in ‘Light It Up Blue’ – a global initiative on World Autism Awareness Day – by bathing the exterior of its facilities in blue light. In the month of April, which is recognised as Autism Awareness Month locally and internationally, the airline will also be organising community and staff initiatives to promote autism awareness and the UAE’s socially inclusive society.
