Etihad Airways has confirmed the continued disruption of its operations due to ongoing airspace closures across the region, announcing the suspension of all flights to and from Abu Dhabi until 2:00 AM UAE time on Monday, March 2.

The decision comes as part of precautionary operational measures taken in response to rapidly evolving regional developments impacting flight routes and scheduling.

The airline urged passengers scheduled to travel during this period to check the status of their flights through its official website before heading to the airport.

It also emphasized the importance of ensuring that contact details linked to bookings are up to date to receive timely notifications regarding any changes to departure times or flight status.

Etihad Airways clarified that passengers holding tickets issued on or before February 28, 2026, with original travel dates up to March 2, 2026, are eligible to rebook free of charge on Etihad-operated flights until March 15, 2026. This flexible rebooking policy aims to minimize inconvenience and provide travelers with alternative arrangements under the current circumstances.

The airline further stated that passengers affected by flight cancellations may request a full refund through its official website. Customers who booked through travel agencies are required to contact their respective agents directly to process refunds in accordance with standard procedures.

Etihad noted that its customer service centers are currently experiencing a significant surge in call volumes, which may result in longer-than-usual response times.

The carrier stressed that the operational environment remains dynamic, and further short-notice adjustments to flight schedules may be necessary depending on how the situation develops.

The airline reaffirmed that it continues to coordinate closely with relevant authorities and will resume normal operations as soon as conditions permit.

Etihad Airways emphasized that the safety of its passengers and staff remains its highest priority, expressing regret for the inconvenience caused and appreciation for customers’ understanding during this period.
