PCR Testing Mandatory For Travellers On Etihad To Abu Dhabi

Effective 1 August, all travellers flying Etihad Airways from around the world to Abu Dhabi, and people transferring via Abu Dhabi onto other flights, will be required to show a negative COVID-19 PCR test result from a listing of approved testing facilities listed on etihad website, alongside their ICA approval if Abu Dhabi is their end destination.

The PCR test must be carried out within 96 hours before arrival in Abu Dhabi and a negative COVID-19 PCR test result certificate from one among the approved clinics listed must be shown for approval to board. Children under the age of 12 and other people with mild to severe disabilities are currently exempt from this PCR test requirement.

Etihad strongly advises all travellers to go to www.etihad.com/destinationguide for detailed information on country-specific PCR testing requirements, lists of applicable medical testing facilities, and entry regulations.

Travellers leaving the UAE from Abu Dhabi to any country in the European Union, the united kingdom, or to any country where it’s mandatory by the authorities at the destination, a negative COVID-19 PCR test result is going to be required within 96 hours before departure.

To help facilitate this process, Etihad Airways is collaborating with Mediclinic Middle East to offer departing travellers the choice of convenient PRC testing, for a fee, at their home, or at Mediclinic facilities in Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, and Dubai before their travel.
