Etihad Airways Considers Legal Action Over Premier League Investigation
Etihad Airways said it is weighing legal action against the Premier League after the league’s investigation and decision‑making process was communicated to the public in a way that damaged the airline’s commercial reputation. The carrier denied any involvement in irregular commercial agreements with Manchester City and criticised that its view was not sought during the process.1
A commission concluded that Manchester City seriously breached Premier League financial rules over nine seasons and failed to cooperate sufficiently with the investigation, prompting the club to lodge an appeal against the decision.1
