COVID-19 PCR testing mandatory
It is mandatory to have a COVID-19 PCR test for all flights with Etihad Airways.
Tests can be carried out at any government accredited medical facility a maximum of 96 hours before the flight departure time. For guests travelling from the USA only, test results can be issued a maximum of 96 hours before their flight departure time. Timings are also different for travelling to China. Guests departing Pakistan and India must use an Etihad approved medical facility, these can be found at etihad.com/destinationguide.

To arrange a test in the UAE, we’ve teamed up with Mediclinic. Guests can visit Mediclinic.ae to book their test at any Mediclinic facility, as well as arrange testing at home. Guests will receive their test results within 24 hours and the service is available for all guests flying from Abu Dhabi, including guests travelling from another emirate to reach Abu Dhabi airport.
If a guest tests positive or they are unable to present proof of their negative COVID-19 PCR test before their flight, they will not be permitted to travel.
