Etihad Suspends Abu Dhabi Flights Until March 3rd

Etihad Airways has suspended all flights to and from Abu Dhabi until 2:00 PM UAE time on Tuesday, March 3rd, 2026, due to ongoing regional airspace closures affecting the Middle East.

The airline advised passengers scheduled to travel during this period to check their flight status online and ensure their contact details are up to date. Travellers holding tickets issued on or before February 28th, 2026, with original travel dates up to March 7th, 2026, may rebook free of charge on Etihad-operated flights until March 18th, 2026 or request a full refund.

Etihad cited significantly higher call volumes and longer response times due to the disruption and encouraged travellers to use the online refund form to avoid delays. The airline emphasised that safety remains its top priority and that services will resume only once all safety requirements are met.
