DUBAI, Nov 16 (Reuters) - Abu Dhabi carrier Etihad Airways expects revenues to be about $3 billion in 2009, its chief executive said on Monday, but has pushed back its profitability target by a year due to the global financial crisis. "We expect revenues in excess of $3 billion," said Jim Hogan at the Dubai air show.
