Air India and Air India Express will be conducting flights to and from Jeddah and Muscat on Tuesday as the airspaces over Saudi Arabia and Oman are open. The two airlines are set to operate a total of 14 flights to and from Jeddah, along with 14 flights to and from Muscat by Air India Express.
On Tuesday, Air India will run one round-trip from Delhi and two round trips from Mumbai to Jeddah. Additionally, Air India Express will operate one round-trip each from Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Mangaluru, and Kozhikode, as stated by Air India.
Apart from the scheduled services, both Air India and Air India Express will run 32 ad-hoc non-scheduled flights between Indian cities and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Tuesday, subject to slot availability and prevailing conditions at the departure points. The airlines have obtained the necessary permissions from relevant Indian and local regulatory authorities for these flights.
Air India is scheduled to operate 10 non-scheduled flights to and from Dubai, including three roundtrips from Mumbai and two round-trips from Delhi. Meanwhile, Air India Express will conduct one round-trip each to Dubai from Mumbai and Bengaluru.
Air India Express is also set to operate 18 non-scheduled flights to and from various emirates of the UAE, including trips to Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and Ras Al-Khaimah from different Indian cities. However, the Air India group has canceled its scheduled operations to and from other points in West Asia until March 13. Passengers affected by these cancellations can reschedule their flights at no extra cost or opt for a full refund.
IndiGo, on the other hand, has been gradually rebuilding its scheduled network in the Middle East and Europe, following volatile conditions in the region. The airline has resumed flights to select destinations in the Middle East since March 3, 2026, and has served over 22,000 customers between India and the region with more than 165 flights.
