Etihad Airways resumes flights to Pakistan starting March 6, following the recent conflict between Iran and Israel. The airline will operate services to Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad.
The airline announced that operations will also resume at over 50 international destinations, including cities in Europe, the United Kingdom, and Central Asia. This move aims to help stranded passengers travel safely despite ongoing regional tensions.
Flight Schedule and Safety Measures
Etihad Airways has finalized its flight schedule for March 6–19. The airline emphasized passenger safety and efficient travel while navigating restricted airspace in parts of the Middle East.
Airlines like Emirates and Etihad resumes limited operations from their hubs to major global cities. The resumption comes as authorities rely on charter flights and reduced commercial services to evacuate tens of thousands amid missile and drone risks.
Impact on Middle East Airports
Dubai International Airport, normally one of the busiest in the world, saw traffic nearly double on Thursday compared to the previous day. However, operations remain at roughly 25% of normal capacity, according to flight-tracking site Flightradar24.
Emirates is operating a reduced schedule to 82 destinations, including London, Sydney, Singapore, and New York. Meanwhile, Qatar’s Doha hub remains largely closed, with limited relief flights arranged from Oman and Saudi Arabia.
Passenger Guidance
Travelers are advised to check flight schedules carefully, as Middle East airspace restrictions may lead to sudden changes. Airlines have confirmed that all resuming flights follow strict safety and operational protocols.
With these updates, Etihad Airways and other carriers are helping passengers reach their destinations while navigating the challenges posed by the Middle East conflict.
