Etihad Airways announced the resumption of certain limited flights on Monday, as the airline adapts to disruptions across the Middle East due to the ongoing Iranian conflict.
The airline's decision follows airspace closures affecting countries including the UAE, driven by the recent Israeli and U.S. military strikes on Iran and Tehran's retaliatory actions.
While regular commercial flights to and from Abu Dhabi remain canceled, Etihad aims to operate select repositioning, cargo, and repatriation flights, contingent on approvals from UAE authorities and stringent safety regulations.
