UAE: Etihad cancels some flights to and from Kuwait for 4-day period
Emirates:
UAE's local airline Etihad Airways cancelled some flights to Kuwait for a
four-day period, the airline announced.
Some flights between Abu Dhabi Zayed International Airport (AUH) and Kuwait
(KWI) have been cancelled starting from October 30 until November 2.
The airline said in its statement the cancellation was due to "reasons beyond
its control".
The flights affected are EY 651 Abu Dhabi to Kuwait and EY 652 Kuwait to Abu
Dhabi. These will be suspended during the four-day period.
The airline said it was working to provide affected customers with
re-accommodation on alternative flights or provide full refunds. The airline
contacted guests impacted by these flights directly.
The carrier urged travellers who may have booked these flights to check their
contact details are up to date by visiting etihad.com/manage. This will ensure
that the airline updates customers via SMS or email with the latest flight
information.
To make any changes to bookings, customers can contact the airline on its local
phone numbers, live chat and social media accounts.
Meanwhile, other Etihad Airways flights to the Gulf country are still
operating from Abu Dhabi during this period. Flight numbers EY 657, EY 655
and EY 653 are all operating from Abu Dhabi to Kuwait on October 30, 31 and
November 1.
Similarly, flights EY 656, EY 654 and EY 658 are operational for travellers
coming from Kuwait to Abu Dhabi.
