Amid rising tensions in West Asia, Air India and Air India Express have announced they will operate 44 scheduled and special flights to and from the region on Tuesday. The services will connect passengers to several West Asian nations, including Muscat and Jeddah.
At the same time, Dubai International Airport has introduced temporary restrictions on the operations of foreign airlines due to the current security situation in the region. According to the latest notice issued by airport authorities, aircraft arriving in Dubai are currently not being granted landing permissions until further notice.
Following the announcement from Dubai Airport, several Indian carriers reported disruptions to their flight operations. IndiGo stated in a post on the social media platform X that landing permissions for its flights to Dubai have been suspended under the new directives issued by the airport authorities.
SpiceJet also confirmed that its services to and from Dubai have been temporarily suspended due to the rapidly evolving situation in the region.
Airlines have advised passengers to stay up to date by checking the latest flight information on official airline websites or through customer service channels before travelling.
Industry experts believe that the ongoing geopolitical tensions in West Asia are likely to impact aviation operations in the region, and flight schedules may continue to change until the situation stabilises.
