Etihad Airways 'categorically rejects' Premier League findings against Manchester City

Etihad Airways has categorically rejected the Premier League's findings against Manchester City regarding financial rule breaches. The airline, a commercial partner and sponsor of the club since 2009, stated that it rejects any implication of improper commercial arrangements. The Premier League's public communication of the commission's findings, following leaks and selective reporting, negatively impacted Etihad despite not being named in the redacted decision.

The airline was never given the chance by the Premier League to present information or ensure fairness in the commission's conclusions. Etihad expressed deep concern over the public communication and lack of transparency, urging the Premier League to take responsibility for the repercussions of how the findings were presented. The airline strongly supports Manchester City and its supporters, emphasizing the enduring commitment to the partnership.

Etihad stands with the club as City challenges the commission's conclusions through available processes, seeking legal counsel on protecting its interests.
