Fleet Reset: Etihad Repositions Stranded Aircraft Ahead Of Monday Relaunch

Etihad Airways’ planned fleet reset is the unglamorous work that will need to take place to make a complete operational restart possible. After regional airspace closures halted movements into and out of Abu Dhabi, the airline began flying aircraft that were stranded around its network back to base, an early indication that operations are gearing up for a Monday relaunch. The carrier’s network has been left crippled by the ongoing situation in the Middle East.
