YES! You read it right. The\u00a0Abu Dhabi-based airline, Etihad, will be operating special inbound flights from May 13 onwards to fly BACK ‘approved’ UAE residents from selected destinations over the course of this month.<\/p>\n

These flights will operate between Abu Dhabi and\u00a0up to 14 destinations around the world, to safely facilitate the return of stranded UAE residents amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

However, it is worth noting that ONLY residents who have received approval from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MOFAIC),\u00a0via the UAE Twajudi Resident service<\/a><\/em> will be able to return back to the country.<\/p>\n

Once approved, you’ll\u00a0receive a unique ICA number, which you’ll have to provide the airline agents whilst booking your tickets.<\/p>\n

These flights have been approved by the UAE Government, and the airline is working closely with concerned authorities to continue these types of operations<\/h2>\n

This was announced in an official statement on the Etihad website<\/em><\/a>. Etihad passengers will be spaced out when seated and will be served beverages onboard the airbus\u00a0in line with COVID-19 guidelines.<\/p>\n

Additionally, all passengers are advised to constantly have on a preventive face mask\u00a0whilst travelling and wash their hands at regular intervals.<\/p>\n
