A nationwide advertising campaign was launched by Etihad Airways in Australia, in order to grow its market share and lure in customers from home-based airlines such as Qantas. The campaign appeals to Australians in a call to "change to the best" and showcases the airline's "superior product and service offering".

The campaign is part of Etihad's ambition to become the airline of choice for overseas travel from Australia, the carrier said in a statement. It follows a tie-up with the country's number two airline Virgin Blue which was given the green light by Australia's competition watchdog in February.
