Flights from India to Abu Dhabi will remain suspended until July 21, Etihad Airways has said.
“Due to the government regulations, flights have been suspended until July 21, 2021, and further updates will be published on our website,” the Abu Dhabi-based carrier said, in response to a customer query on Twitter.
Dubai carrier Emirates said earlier this week that it expects to resume its inbound flights from India effective July 7.
However, according to media reports, the UAE’s General Civil Aviation Authority had said that flights from India and 13 other countries including Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, will remain suspended until 11.59pm on July 21, 2021.
Flights from India to the UAE were originally suspended starting April 24 as the South Asian country struggled to contain the massive surge in Covid-19 infections.
