Abu Dhabi: Etihad Airways in a report said that the majority of passengers stranded in Abu Dhabi following the failure on Thursday of an airport landing system have now been accommodated on alternative flights.
The airline continues to reschedule some long haul flights to ensure that passengers flying via Abu Dhabi this evening, and in coming days, can connect with onward services to their final destinations.
The priority over the last 48 hours has been to enable passengers to continue their journeys as quickly as possible. This has resulted in several hundred bags being misconnected. Etihad Airways continues to do everything possible to ensure all misconnected baggage at Abu Dhabi International Airport is returned to passengers in the coming 36 hours.
The airline continues to work around the clock to restore normal scheduled services and ensure that all affected passengers and their bags reach their final destination.
Passengers are advised to visit the Etihad Airways website at www.etihad.com or contact the Etihad Airways Contact Centre on +971 (0) 2599 0000 for more information on the status of flights in and out of Abu Dhabi Airport.
