IAIN BURNS, a former Head of Corporate Communications at British Airways, is returning to the United Kingdom after nearly three years with Etihad.  Iain, an elderly father at the age of 50, says he is leaving Abu Dhabi with many regrets, but with the goodwill of boss James Hogan.  Iain started life in PR at Manchester International Airport, claims to have had nothing to do with the City sponsorship deal (he is useless for tickets – even as a true blue supporter) but sees the UK as a family home.  During a consultancy period based in London he looked after Emirates and has also American Airlines on his CV. iburns@etihad.ae
