Etihad advises checks with US missions after new Trump order
Etihad Airways is advising some passengers to check with US diplomatic missions before travelling after US president Donald Trump signed a revised executive order banning visits by nationals of 6 Muslim-majority nations. Monday's order, which takes effect March 16, keeps a 90-day ban on travel to the US by citizens of Iran, Libya, Syria, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. It applies only to new visa applicants, meaning about 60,000 people whose visas were revoked by the previous order will now be permitted to enter. Etihad said it was strongly encouraging nationals of the listed countries "to consult with their nearest US embassy or consulate to ensure they are legally entitled to enter the US." Fellow UAE carrier Emirates said it was aware of the new order and would adhere to it. <br/>
