Air India, IndiGo resume flights to Middle East: Details here
Good news if you've been stuck or waiting to travel: Air India and IndiGo have started flying to the Middle East again after airspace reopened, while SpiceJet is operating special flights from UAE cities to India.
Special flights from Dubai and nearby cities are planned in early March 2026 (source cites activity around 9-10 March 2026 and 10 March 2026 for ad-hoc services), pending approvals, helping stranded travelers finally get moving.
Flight status for other airlines
IndiGo has resumed multiple flights to the region and has been restoring services in stages.
SpiceJet is operating special flights from Dubai in early March 2026 (no specific count or March 5-7 dates given in the source).
Many regular services to Abu Dhabi, Doha, Riyadh, and Kuwait remain suspended or adjusted, with suspension end dates varying by carrier.
Meanwhile, Air India is adding some international flights from Delhi (think Toronto, Frankfurt, Paris), but airlines like Air France and British Airways have tweaked or canceled their schedules for now.
