After a gap of almost four years, Etihad Airways, one of two flag carriers of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), has resumed operations at the Calicut International Airport.
Airport Director S. Suresh lighted the traditional lamp to mark the resumption of the flight on Monday night. The flight will operate on daily basis with Airbus A320 and A321 aircraft. The scheduled arrival time is 7.55 p.m. and departure for Abu Dhabi is 8.30.p.m, said Etihad station manager C.K. Hemanth.
Etihad had suspended operations due to COVID-19 restrictions in March 2020. At that time, the airline had two daily flights servicing at the airport and on some occasions four flights.
