[1] This matter involves an application for the Fair Work Commission (the Commission) to approve a termination of an enterprise agreement. The application has been made pursuant to s. 222 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). The application identified that the matter involved the termination by agreement of an enterprise agreement known as the Etihad Airways PJSC Engineering Employee Agreement 2012 (the Agreement).

[2] The application was lodged at Sydney on 12 February 2015. The application was made by Etihad Airways PJSC trading as Etihad Airways (the Employer) and indicated that the termination of the Agreement was agreed to on 29 January 2015.

The Declaration has provided sufficient evidentiary basis upon which I am able to conclude that the requirements of ss. 220, 222 and 223 of the Act have been satisfied.

[5] Therefore, pursuant to s. 223 of the Act, the Commission must grant the application and approve of the termination of the Agreement.
