Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates - Effective 24 June, Etihad Airways will recommence flights from Abu Dhabi to Athens, Greece.

Destinations connecting to Athens include Melbourne, Sydney, Singapore, Manila, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Seoul, Karachi and Lahore. 

The addition of Athens increases the total number of international flights being flown by Etihad throughout June to 25 destinations, with plans to significantly increase the number of scheduled flights around the world, as international travel restrictions are lifted.

Etihad continues to follow UAE and international government, regulatory and health authority directives, and is playing its part in helping to limit the spread of COVID-19. The airline has implemented an extensive sanitisation and customer safety programme and is practicing the highest standards of hygiene at every part of the customer journey. This includes catering, aircraft and cabin deep-cleaning, check-in, health screening, boarding, inflight, crew interaction, meal service, arrival and ground transportation, among others.
