Etihad Airways will restructure its flight schedule for tonight to enable the airline to recover from operational disruption caused by this morning’s severe fog at Abu Dhabi Airport.

These plans include the deferral of some flights into Abu Dhabi this evening (January 3) and tomorrow morning (January 4), said the UAE airline while releasing a comprehensive list of revised flight times.

Flight EY11, an Airbus A380 service from Abu Dhabi to London Heathrow, has already been rescheduled to depart at 1am on January 4, rather than its usual time of 2.35am, said a statement from Etihad.

Etihad Airways is also urging any passengers who can defer their travel to, from, or through Abu Dhabi, up to and including Tuesday January 6, to rebook flights through its global contact centres.

The airline is waiving normal cancellation and refund fees during this period, it stated.

Etihad Airways continues to deploy support staff to Abu Dhabi Airport to assist passengers and the airline is working to relieve the situation.
