Zayed International Airport (AUH), the primary gateway to Abu Dhabi and a major hub for Etihad Airways, remains partially operational as of March 4, 2026, but with severe restrictions due to ongoing regional security developments tied to escalating conflict involving Iran, the United States and Israel.
Airport authorities and airlines have emphasized that the facility is not fully open for regular commercial traffic. Access is tightly controlled, limited to confirmed passengers with explicit airline approval, and the vast majority of scheduled flights continue to face suspension or cancellation.
