Following an announcement by the National Crisis and Disaster Management Authority, effective 24 December 2020, Etihad Airways requires all guests flying from the United Kingdom to present a negative PCR test within 72 hours validity of their flight departure time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a statement today, Etihad said it is the only airline in the world requiring 100% of its passengers to show a negative PCR test before travelling and again on arrival into Abu Dhabi, ensuring peace of mind for all on board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PCR tests must be conducted at a government accredited medical facility. Suggested facilities can be found at etihad.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As many COVID-19 PCR test certificates do not currently show the date and time the test was taken, guests are required to show evidence of this at check-in, for example by presenting their appointment confirmation. Children under 12 and people with severe and moderate disabilities are exempt from COVID-19 PCR testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Etihad Wellness, the airline\u2019s health and safety programme, ensures the highest standards of hygiene are maintained at every stage of the customer journey. This includes specially trained Wellness Ambassadors, a first in the industry, who have been introduced by the airline to provide essential travel health information and care on the ground and on every flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As part of the Etihad Wellness programme, global COVID-19 insurance cover is included for all passengers travelling with Etihad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
