Etihad reroutes flights amid airspace restrictions

Etihad Airways is re-routing several flights on Monday, June 23 and Tuesday, June 24 due to airspace restrictions across parts of the Middle East.

The airline says the situation is evolving and is being closely monitored for security and operational updates.

Passengers may experience delays or disruptions over the coming days, with the carrier urging travellers to double-check their flight status.

"Etihad Airways flights only operate through approved airspace, safety is always our highest priority and we would never operate a flight unless it was safe to do so," the Abu Dhabi-based carrier said in a statement on its website.
