Dubai: UAE’s ban on inbound flights from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka could be further extended depending on government mandates.
“Following the latest UAE Government directives, passenger travel from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka to the UAE and Etihad's network has been suspended until August 7, 2021,” said Etihad in a statement.
“This is an evolving situation, and this date may have to be extended in line with government mandates,” the Abu Dhabi-based airline said on its website.
Travel industry sources have said the ban may extend until August 31 as some flights scheduled between August 7 and August 12 have already been canceled.
UAE nationals, diplomatic missions, official delegations and Golden residence holders are exempted from the UAE entry restriction. These passengers will be subject to acceptance and quarantine conditions.
Etihad, which is currently operating normal commercial flights to all four countries, said cargo will continue to operate in both directions without any impact. “Etihad is working closely with impacted guests to notify them of the changes to their itineraries.”
