Etihad Airways and the Premier League
30 September 2026
Manchester City sponsor Etihad Airways is considering legal action following publication of the Premier League commission’s findings. The airline rejected any suggestion it participated in improper commercial arrangements and said the public handling of the case had damaged its interests.
Etihad said it was not given an opportunity to engage with the process and criticised what it described as unclear and selective disclosure. The airline will seek legal advice on possible recourse while Manchester City separately prepares its own appeal.
