The airline announced earnings Wednesday, saying 2015 marked its fifth year of profitability. It had a profit of $73 million and revenues of $7.6 billion in 2014.
Etihad, based in Abu Dhabi, says it carried 17.6 million passengers in 2015, an increase of 18.9 percent from the year before.

The United Arab Emirates is also home to the Dubai-based long-haul carrier Emirates.
