Guests are reminded to upload their COVID-19 PCR test results

It is mandatory for guests to have a COVID-19 PCR test before they fly with Etihad Airways – they will only be permitted to fly if they have a negative test result.

COVID-19 PCR tests must be carried out a maximum of 96 hours before their flight departure time at any government accredited medical facility.

This applies for flights to all Indian states.
