The special transfer flights to 20 destinations will commence on 10 June
The General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) has approved Etihad’s commencement of a limited number of transfer flights connecting 20 destinations via Abu Dhabi International Airport.
The transfer flights will be allowed to land and depart from Abu Dhabi International Airport, enabling travellers to connect easily through the UAE capital onwards to key global destinations.
“This milestone has been enabled by the effective and swift response of our nation’s wise leadership in implementing comprehensive measures to mitigate the impact of Covid-19,” commented HE Sheikh Mohammed Bin Hamad Bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan, Chairman, Abu Dhabi Airports.
Abu Dhabi Airports has implemented an extensive range of preventative measures at Abu Dhabi International Airport, which include nasal swabbing and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing, as well as new robotic and autonomous sterilisation technologies that compliment other measures recommended by the UAE’s Ministry of Health and Prevention (MoHAP).
