The UAE national carriers announced the operation of exceptional flights starting Monday evening, with full commitment to the highest safety standards and continuous coordination with the competent authorities.
Etihad Airways has resumed some limited flight operations from Abu Dhabi, even as all scheduled commercial services remain cancelled.
In a statement, the airline confirmed that all regular commercial flights to and from Abu Dhabi are still cancelled.
However, it said: “Some repositioning, cargo and repatriation flights may operate in coordination with UAE authorities and subject to strict operational and safety approvals.”
The airline stressed that these flights are being operated only under specific approvals.
Etihad added: “Safety remains our absolute priority, and services will operate only once all safety criteria are met.”
Dubai Airports confirms that a limited resumption of operations will begin today evening, 2 March, with a small number of flights permitted to operate from Dubai International (DXB) and Dubai World Central – Al Maktoum International (DWC). Travellers are advised not to proceed to DXB or DWC unless they have been contacted directly by their airline with a confirmed departure time.
