Etihad Airways announced on Tuesday it was operating a normal schedule to Kathmandu following the earthquake that hit Nepal on Saturday.

EY290 and EY292 have been upgraded to larger aircraft to accommodate guests who were unable to land at Tribhuvan Airport on Monday, the airline said via Twitter.

“Etihad is encouraging guests who do not need to urgently travel to Kathmandu to rebook on another date or seek a refund, as per the fare rules,” it said. “All Etihad guests booked to travel to Kathmandu during the coming days are being notified of this option. Guest and crew safety remain our priority and our immediate thoughts are with Nepal and its people during a challenging time.”
