Etihad Airways has issued a formal travel advisory regarding delays impacting several of its routes on August 26 due to unforeseen operational and technical difficulties. Flights EY061 and EY062, operating between Abu Dhabi and London Heathrow, have both been rescheduled. Additionally, a technical issue has caused a delay for flight EY363, which was set to travel from Calicut International Airport in Kerala to Abu Dhabi. This timing is particularly challenging for many travelers, as it coincides with Onam, a major festive season in Kerala that sees a high volume of passengers heading home.

To minimize the impact on travel plans, the airline is urging all affected passengers to verify that their contact information is current through the "Manage your booking" portal on the official Etihad website. This ensures that travelers receive real-time updates via email or SMS. For those needing to modify their itineraries or seeking further assistance, the carrier has encouraged passengers to use their live chat feature or reach out via local contact numbers. The airline expressed its sincere apologies for the disruption, emphasizing that the safety and well-being of its passengers and crew remain their primary concern.
