Etihad, one of the leading Middle Eastern airlines, is ending its flights to Entebbe due to the route's poor performance.

According to a statement issued by Etihad yesterday, flights between Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates and Entebbe will be "suspended" from 25 March 2018 "following a commercial assessment of the route's performance".

The airline assured ticket holders that they will be provided with alternative travel options to their final destination.
