Etihad Airways launched its UAE Runway to Runway rewards programme last night, inviting model Halima Aden to showcase the event in Abu Dhabi.

Born in Somalia, Aden took the fashion world by storm earlier this year, when she took part in Kanye West’s Yeezy Season 5 show wearing a hijab.

As part of the launch, Aden was invited to take part in Etihad’s Abu Dhabi 48 hour stop over challenge, which saw her fly in from New York.
