Etihad Airways has announced that it will operate most of its scheduled flights today, despite serious disruptions this morning caused by the fog which forced the closure of Abu Dhabi Airport.
Although many services were or will be delayed, the airline has said that it will move the majority of passengers affected by the fog. Of the 21 inbound flights diverted this morning to other airports, 15 were able to proceed to Abu Dhabi by midday, the carrier said in its statement today.
Flights also departed from Abu Dhabi to Munich, Paris, New York, Milan, Rome, Manila, Riyadh, London, Dublin, Casablanca and Kuwait, with a large group of additional flights scheduled to leave early in the afternoon.
A small number of flights were cancelled and passengers rebooked on later Etihad Airways flights.
Of the flights diverted to other airports, 18 were passenger aircraft and three were freighters.
Passengers have been advised to contact the Etihad Airways Contact Centre on +971 (0) 2599 0000 or visit the Etihad Airways website for more information on the status of flights in and out of Abu Dhabi Airport.
