Etihad Airways operating as normal but UK delays possible

Etihad Airways is warning those booked on flights to and from the UK that delays are possible on Tuesday.

In an email to the ARN News Centre, a spokesperson for the airline confirmed they are "working closely with airport authorities" in the UK "due to the ongoing Flight Data Processing System failure".

While flights are operating as scheduled, there "may be delays affecting all airlines operating in the UK", the airline added. 

"We apologise for the inconvenience caused by this system failure which is affecting all airports across the UK.”

The airline is asking all travellers booked on flights to the UK to check their contact details are correct in order to receive an update via SMS or email with the latest flight information.

The news comes after thousands of passengers were affected by a technical error at London’s Heathrow Airport, leaving many travellers stranded.
