Etihad Airways has sent out a trade notification alerting agents to a new optional offering – COVID-19 testing on arrival at Abu Dhabi International Airport, which travellers pay for when they arrive.
To enter public places in Abu Dhabi – like hotels, restaurants and malls – visitors must be fully vaccinated and hold a negative PCR test result issued within 30 days. Those who do not have a negative result on hand can now test when they land at the airport, straight after baggage collection.
To prove vaccination and testing status, travellers must still show the Al Hosn app (with ‘green’ status to indicate proof of vaccination) or the official health app from their country of residence.
Those wanting to use the app must first register at ICA.gov.ae before travel and then register using their passport number on the app itself.
Visitors on inbound flights to Abu Dhabi also no longer need to wear masks .
