ETIHAD DELAYS ALL FLIGHTS TO LONDON

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 20 (Bernama) -- Etihad Airways has delayed all flights to
London until further notice, due to the closure of Heathrow airport, as a result
of severe weather conditions.

The airline is in close contact with the United Kingdom authorities, and
once the airport reopens, Etihad will do everything possible to fly passengers
to their destination, it said in a statement here, today.

Two flights to London were diverted on Dec 18, one to Manchester and another
to Frankfurt.

Passengers on the Manchester flight were transferred to London via
coach while passengers in Frankfurt received hotel or lounge accommodation.

Etihad's early morning flight to London, returned to Abu Dhabi on
Dec 19, following the late and unexpected announcement of the continued closure
of the airport.

Passengers are being provided with hotel accommodation locally.

Etihad operates three flights to London daily. The airline encourages
customers to check its website for the latest flight delays or cancellations.
