Etihad

Emirates and Etihad are offering travel insurance covering conflict-related medical costs, flight cancellations, and delays to attract passengers amid regional travel advisories. Etihad provides free medical cover from July to December, while both airlines expand routes including Calgary, Helsinki, and Zanzibar to boost recovery.

Flight operators like Etihad and Emirates are nearing prewar capacity, but rising fuel costs and lost transfer traffic threaten profits. Hotels in Qatar and Dubai face high vacancy rates, prompting discounted rates and staycations.
