Abu Dhabi's Etihad Airways will resume flights from New Delhi, Chennai, Kochi, Bengaluru and Trivandrum from August 7 as the United Arab Emirates recently relaxed some travel restrictions from people travelling from India. It also said that from 10 August, flights will be added from Ahmedabad (for transit only), Hyderabad and Mumbai in India. This does not mean that travelers from India will now be allowed to travel to Dubai, as the UAE government has not completely lifted the travel restriction on India.
