Update: The airline previously announced it was planning to resume flights from 16th May, but the UAE government is yet to ease any travel restrictions. Etihad is suspending all online sales for flights before 16th June.
Etihad Airways has pushed back its restart date from 16th May to 16th June, when they plan to resume regular passenger flights. Etihad’s flight resumption will depend on the UAE government lifting the restrictions it imposed in March.
Flights in and out of the UAE are currently suspended because of COVID-19, but the Abu Dhabi-based airline is working with the government and regulators to restart operations. You can see a list of proposed schedule here.
A spokesperson for Etihad told The National that their restart date will be subject to the UAE government’s restrictions being lifted.
“To minimise any potential disruption or discomfort to customers, only flexible and refundable fares will be offered after April 29, 2020, for travel between June 16 and August 31, 2020,” an Etihad spokesperson told The National.
Etihad Spokesperson
Emirates have recently updated their schedule, suggesting that they would not resume regular passenger flights until 1st July. Dubai’s airline said the schedule could be updated in the meantime.
In recent weeks both Etihad and Emirates have been operating a number of special repatriation flights and cargo-only services, after all regular passenger flights were suspended by the UAE government.

Hi Sam
Love your blog. With your contacts and inside info, do you have any idea what service will look like in F on EK in a few months from now? Surely not Bento boxes for the price? I will be returning home to Aus from YYZ (where I am currently stuck) via DXB and prefer flying with EK, even if it is the long way round! Cheers
I don’t know and haven’t travel internationally since March. Perhaps you can share with us the experience after your flight?

From Pakistan to uae is there any flight?
Pls check the link inside the article on detail flight schedule.
I have an idea as a slight re-fresh on their livery that i like very much by adding some purple to it as its in their colour chart ,as well as pink! I have 4 A380 pics i have added a slight coloured few triangles in purple alone and a few purple with pink triangles into their current design and it looks fab!!!
Anyone know an email address to their marketing or PR or livery design team, so i could send them the images to look at for free as a fan! ?? Who knows, they may like the idea and actually add the colour addition to their current design maybe on a few aircraft?? Everyone i have showed liked what i did just using Deluxe paint on Microsoft! It does look good i think!
Besides that ,yes Etihad certainly needs to be back flying as of its economic situation even before the crisis! I like this Airline very much like Gulf Air and Oman who are adventurous with their livery and designs and onboard ambiance.Oman Air has probably the best first class in the world ,a small ,unkown arabic airline with most whp are not in the know but wow,they certainly put some of the big players to shame on their product quality!
Pakistan to italy malien
For Pakistan
Put your superb A380s back to service, I miss them!
Hi Sam,
Do you plan to be on this first Etihad flight in May or whenever it is ? I think it would make an interesting video for everyone.
I really hope aviation can get back to some semblance of normality soon. This is such an awful period.
All the best!
John
No, I don’t have such plan.
