Abu Dhabi's Etihad Airways has said it will extend its suspension of scheduled passenger flights until at least May 16 due to the coronavirus outbreak.

“While Etihad hoped to resume a reduced network of scheduled passenger services from 1 May, subject to UAE government-imposed travel restrictions being lifted, the airline will now delay this plan until at least 16 May, due to the ongoing situation,” a company spokeswoman said.

“This decision is being taken early to avoid potential disruption to customers wishing to travel during that period, and for their safety and well-being,” the company said.
