In response to the evolving situation, Etihad has introduced Etihad Credit . The new initiative allows travellers who have booked a flight to any country across Etihad's network to cancel tickets free of charge if travel plans change. The full value of the original ticket can then be used as credit towards a future flight booking. Etihad Credit is available to anyone booking a flight before June 30. Rebooking can take place anytime until September 30, for travel until the end of this year. Etihad is also operating five special charter flights between Abu Dhabi and Moscow from March 21 to 25 to aid the repatriation of Russian and UAE citizens, as well as other nationals transiting through Abu Dhabi to their home countries. Only Russian citizens will be permitted to fly on the Abu Dhabi – Moscow sector, while non-Russian passengers of any nationality will be allowed to fly via Abu Dhabi from Moscow, provided there are connecting flights available, and no travel restrictions in place which impede entry to their end destinations, Etihad said. Only UAE citizens will be permitted to enter the UAE at Abu Dhabi International Airport. Despite current travel restrictions, several flights are still departing in and out of Abu Dhabi International Airport. Most are via Etihad, but other airlines that continue to fly include Middle East Airlines, Oman Air, Saudi Arabian Airlines, Egypt Air, Malaysia Airlines and Korean Air. The majority of flights have been moved from Terminal 1 to Terminal 3 . The UAE has currently closed its borders to all travellers, including resident visa holders, to stop the spread of the coronavirus. Emiratis were also banned from travel, except they can return to the UAE. The Dubai airline has suspended services to more than a third of its network.
