Looks like AUH may be pulled entirely.
I guess the current published travel advice pretty much kills off the AUH flights for now.

"Travel to the United Arab Emirates is subject to entry restrictions
  • Visit and tourist visas are currently being issued by the Dubai authorities only. Tourists and visitors cannot travel to Abu Dhabi by air.
  • With effect from 1 August, all travellers to the UAE must have received a negative PCR COVID-19 test result within the 96 hours prior to their arrival. The test must have been registered and carried out at one of the UAE-approved testing centres. Travellers may also need to undertake a second test on arrival, and to complete a period of self-isolation.
  • With effect from 1 August, all travellers departing from the UAE to the EU and UK will need to have a negative PCR COVID-19 test result within 96 hours prior to their departure. This is also a requirement for travellers to other countries that require a negative PCR COVID-19 test before arrival."
