Etihad Airways resumes some operations but commercial flights still halted amid Iran conflict
DUBAI, March 2 (Reuters) - Etihad Airways resumed some limited flight operations on Monday, the airline told Reuters, as global airlines including Middle East carriers adapt to the disruption caused by the escalating Iranian conflict since Saturday.
The Israeli and U.S. attacks on Iran and Tehran's military response forced the closure of airspace in various countries across the Middle East, including the United Arab Emirates, along with key airports including Dubai and Doha.
"Some repositioning, cargo and repatriation flights may operate in coordination with UAE authorities and subject to strict operational and safety approvals," the airline said in a statement to Reuters, adding that all scheduled commercial flights to and from Abu Dhabi remained cancelled.
