Guests travelling to Dubai do not need to quarantine on arrival in the capital.

“With Dubai just an easy one-hour drive from Abu Dhabi International Airport, we’re committed to making travel as easy as possible for guests travelling to and from Dubai this summer. The Etihad Wellness programme also means guests can travel with Etihad with complete peace of mind,” says Fatma Al Mehairi, vice president of UAE sales at Etihad Airways.

Guests travelling in Etihad’s business and first cabins continue to have complimentary access to the Etihad chauffeur service, regardless of their travel destination.

Etihad has also extended its Verified to Fly initiative across its entire network. Travellers can validate their Covid-19 travel documents online before arriving at the airport, and then access fast-track check-in desks at the airport.
