According to reports, check-in commenced at 9:00 am (local time) in both the domestic and international terminals.
Etihad Airways confirmed on its official website that "flight EY 282 is scheduled to depart Abu Dhabi at 1:55 pm on Sunday, and EY 283 is due to leave Cochin at 9:25 pm (local time)."

Since Friday, several flights to Kochi have been cancelled or diverted to nearby airports as over 60 per cent of the operating area of the airport was submerged underwater.
