Interview with Etihad CEO James Hogan

[Fiches Mouser]

Some really interesting bits and pieces in this Skift interview with Hogan.

This I found fascinating:

"In the Residence you have a butler, the apartments and even I can’t travel the Residence unless I pay. No one gets it for nothing. I flew on the apartment, which is a flat bed, and that’s a great experience too."

love how they designed it which is discussed.

I'm guessing that when he says "Virgin Australia - profitable, doing well" he's referring to Etihad's investment.

That interview was over 12 months ago. The results of VA's transformation were ongoing and may not have affected their bottom line at the time.

James Hogan is indeed an Aussie
