Abu Dhabi-based airline says it continues to follow UAE and international government and regulatory authority directives

Etihad Airways on Wednesday made further changes to its global flights network due to the spread of the Covid-19 virus and its continuing impact on air travel services around the world.

The Abu Dhabi-based airline said it continues to follow UAE and international government and regulatory authority directives and has implemented a series of consolidated network changes.

This is also being carried out for the safety and convenience of its customers and staff, and to minimise operational disruption during this period, the carrier said in a statement.

It added that future changes to the route network may occur due to government directives in key markets.

Etihad Airways said it is working closely with regulatory authorities in the UAE and overseas and is continuing to monitor this situation closely.

For passengers impacted by flight cancellations, procedures are in place for fare refunds or for flight changes when services resume.

Etihad Airways urged passengers whose flights are impacted by Covid-19 travel restrictions to refrain from calling the airline’s customer service lines unless their flights are scheduled within the next 48 hours.
