The Ministry of Civil Aviation announced that Indian airlines will operate 58 flights between India and the Gulf region to assist stranded passengers in West Asia due to the ongoing conflict. This includes 30 flights by IndiGo and 23 by Air India and Air India Express. The Ministry is closely monitoring the changing airspace situation in parts of West Asia and its impact on international flight operations. Indian carriers have adjusted their schedules, resuming long-haul and ultra-long-haul operations through alternative routes to avoid restricted airspace. The Ministry is ensuring that airfares remain stable and that airlines communicate transparently with passengers, following all regulatory requirements regarding refunds, rescheduling, and passenger assistance. Passengers are advised to check flight statuses directly with their airlines and rely on official sources for updates before heading to the airport.
