Etihad Airways said Monday it will temporarily suspend all flights to, from, and via Abu Dhabi from the end of Wednesday. The decision follows an earlier announcement from the National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority, and the General Civil Aviation Authority to suspend all inbound, outbound, and transit passenger flights in the UAE. It added that flights to and from Abu Dhabi International Airport will stop at 11.59pm (UAE local time) Wednesday and will last for an initial 14 days, subject to further directives by the relevant authorities. Cargo and emergency evacuation flights are exempt and will continue. CE Tony Douglas: “As the national airline, we...are confident that we’re well prepared to weather the commercial and operational impact this suspension will have on our services.” <br/>
