Dubai: UAE based airlines have cancelled and rerouted several flights. The decision was taken as airspaces were shut in several parts of the Middle East due to Iran-Israel conflict.
Abu Dhabi-based Etihad Airways is rerouting a number of its flights on Wednesday (October 2) in response to airspace restrictions. Etihad also warned that the shutting of airspaces in Israel, Jordan, Iraq, and Lebanon— following Iran’s missile attacks on Israel — ‘is likely to cause some disruption and delay to a number of flights over the coming days’.
Etihad advised its customers to check their flight status on etihad.com. Passengers wishing to change their travel arrangements are encouraged to contact the Etihad Airways Contact Centre on (+971) 600 555 666, or their travel agents.
