Ethiad to Commence Transfer Flights Via OMAA

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 (OMAA). 

Commencing on June 10th, Etihad will operate transfer connections via Abu Dhabi from Jakarta, Karachi, Kuala Lumpur, Manila, Melbourne, Seoul, Singapore, Sydney, and Tokyo to major cities across Europe including Amsterdam, Barcelona, Brussels, Dublin, Frankfurt, Geneva, London Heathrow, Madrid, Milan, Paris Charles de Gaulle, and Zurich.

Throughout the month of June, Etihad will also continue to operate a network of special flights from Abu Dhabi to previously announced destinations across its international network.

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 sterilization technologies that compliment other measures recommended by the UAE’s Ministry of Health and Prevention (MoHAP).

Commercial passenger flights in and out of the UAE were suspended by the GCAA on March 25, 2020 in order to contain the spread of COVID-19. Since that time, Abu Dhabi International Airport has supported special cargo and repatriation flights.
