Etihad diversions from Abu Dhabi

 
The company said the fog significantly reduced the number of aircraft that could land each hour between 6 am and 8 am.

The flights were diverted to Al Ain, Al Bateen and Al Maktoum International Airport in the UAE. They will re-position back to Abu Dhabi when they have re-fuelled and the fog has cleared. As a result Etihad is anticipating delays to departures for the rest of the day.

Passengers are advised to contact the Etihad Airways Contact Centre on +971 (0) 2599 0000 or visit the Etihad Airways website at www.etihad.com for more information on the status of flights in and out of Abu Dhabi Airport.
