Alex Featherstone, Vice President Network Planning & Alliances, Etihad Airways, said, “While the COVID19 pandemic continues to impact the commercial aviation industry, charter flights provide a convenient alternative to travel, providing customers with the flexibility to choose the departure time, destination and routing.”

Etihad flew over 500 charters in 2020 including passenger, government and humanitarian flights. Over 3.8 million tonnes of cargo was transported for the government of Abu Dhabi as part of the national aid programme using charter services.

Global COVID19 insurance cover is included for all passengers travelling with Etihad.
