UAE-India flights resume after brief pause, but with caveats
After a brief pause caused by Middle East airspace closures, flights from the UAE to India have started up again as of Monday.
Etihad and Emirates were quick to get planes in the air, while Air India is holding off until late March 3.
If you're traveling soon, there are still some changes and cancelations to watch out for.
