Etihad Airways has released a scheduled flight plan from Abu Dhabi for March 10, 11, and 12, 2026, as the airline gradually resumes operations, catering to passengers who were affected by the recent disruptions in the region’s airspace. The airline said the schedule will include flights to several key destinations, allowing passengers with existing bookings to travel as services restart in phases. In a statement shared on X, Etihad urged travellers not to go to the airport unless they have a confirmed booking or have been contacted directly by the airline. All flights will operate only after complete safety and security checks are carried out.
