Abu Dhabi Etihad Airways will resume services to and from Bahrain International Airport starting from June 19, 2020.

The flights will connect Abu Dhabi with Manama, a statement said.

Those wishing to book a flight to Bahrain can visit Etihad’s website to remain informed on the appropriate entry regulations.

The service will be operated with a Boeing 787-9.

Outbound flights will operate on June 19, 21, 26 and 28. EY 371 will depart from the UAE capital at 1.30am and arrive in Manama at 1.45am.

Return flight EY 378 will depart at 3.15am and arrive in the UAE capital at 5.25am. It will operate on June 19, 21, 26 and 28.

Etihad Airways has started operating a limiting number of flights after the UAE opened up its airports earlier this month.
