Etihad Airways is restarting flights to Bahrain and Kuwait after a three-week break. The Abu Dhabi carrier suspended services due to operational reasons. Operations are set to resume this Saturday for travelers.
Our retelling · details in the original publication
Etihad Airways is officially resuming flights to Bahrain and Kuwait. The Abu Dhabi-based carrier announced the end of a three-week suspension that disrupted many travel plans. This marks a return to normal operations for routes connecting the UAE with neighboring states. Passengers can once again schedule business trips and vacations without unnecessary hassle.
Regular operations will restart this Saturday. Flight EY 643 to Bahrain is set to depart at 3:40 PM UAE time, which is convenient for daytime arrivals. Flight EY 653 to Kuwait takes off at 8:25 AM, allowing for a full business day upon arrival. It is important to double-check the time on your ticket, as schedules may have been adjusted during the pause.
The airline previously cited "operational reasons" for the suspension. Now that restrictions are lifted, full regional logistics are being restored. For UAE residents, this simplifies short-haul travel significantly. Direct connections via Abu Dhabi have always been a popular choice due to convenient connections and onboard service.
Passengers who already purchased tickets for cancelled flights should check their new booking status. The airline usually notifies about schedule changes, but an extra check is wise. Ensure you have received confirmation for the new departure time. If needed, use online check-in to save time at the airport.
