The first flights between Reunion and Abu Dhabi did not meet with the success expected by their organizers, Rabin Apavou's company Alena Holidays. In a context marked by the Covid-19 epidemic outbreak in Reunion, the average filling rate of the first rotations, carried out from January 2 with a Boeing 787 Dreamliner chartered from Etihad Airways, stood at 45%. Alena Holidays preferred to postpone the second part of its program, which resumed from February 27 and will continue until mid-April. Various modifications have been made to it, in light of initial customer feedback. Takeoffs from Reunion Island are, for example, scheduled on Sunday evening and returns on Sunday morning., with takeoff from Abu Dhabi on Saturday evening, allowing you to fully enjoy the last day of your stay. New packages have also been developed, with a first price of 1,290 euros per person and a “senior” formula for those over 60, combining three days in Abu Dhabi and three days in Dubai, with a daily excursion. During this school holiday period, a family offer also offers two days in Abu Dhabi and four days in Dubai, at 1,850 euros per adult and 995 euros per child.
