As part of an ongoing review of network performance, Etihad Airways will cancel its flights from Abu Dhabi to Brisbane. The decision to cancel the route is a commercial one, and a direct consequence of the impact of COVID-19 on global travel and tourism demand. The cancellation of the Brisbane route is one of several adjustments currently being made by the airline during this time.
Brisbane was pulled from the GDS in the last 48 hours, and these other destinations have also been yanked:
- Calicut
- Khartoum
- Kathmandu
- Lagos
- Vienna (suspended for Winter 2020 only)
- Los Angeles (suspended for Winter 2020 only)
