Dubai: Etihad Airways said on Monday it will suspend all flights to and from Doha starting June 6 and until further notice after the UAE announced it is severing diplomatic ties with Qatar.
In a statement on its website, Etihad said the last flight from Abu Dhabi to Doha will depart at 2.45am on June 6, and the last flight from Doha to Abu Dhabi will depart at 4am (local time) on June 6.
Flights on June 5 will operate as per schedule.
Etihad said it is providing all customers who booked flights to and from Doha with “alternative options including full refunds on unused tickets and free rebooking to the nearest alternate Etihad Airways destinations.”
The suspension comes after the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Egypt said they are cutting ties with Qatar amid escalating tensions over accusations that Doha sponsors terrorism. The UAE has given Qatari diplomats 48 hours to leave the country.
State news agency WAM said Abu Dhabi accused Doha of “supporting, funding, and embracing terrorism, extremism, and sectarian organizations.”
