UAE flights: Etihad announces temporary suspension of online check-in services

Abu Dhabi-based Etihad Airways on Tuesday announced that online check-in for passengers will be temporarily unavailable. The airline is undergoing a planned systems change to its Passenger Service System which will result in some service outages while the new process is brought online.

In a statement, UAE's national carrier said that online check-in for guests travelling from global airports will be temporarily unavailable from March 4 until March 12. Online check-in for passengers travelling from Abu Dhabi will be unavailable from March 6-12.

However, travellers can still check in at the airport in person. Check-in will be open four hours before the flight departure time.

Passengers travelling between these dates are advised by the airline to check etihad.com/faqs, arrive at the airport from four hours before their flight departure and have a printed or electronic copy of their tickets available to ensure a smooth and efficient experience.
