Flight Operations Disrupted Between India and UAE Amid Rising Tensions

Flight Operations Impacted

Flight Tracker Updates: Recent escalations in West Asia have led to significant disruptions in flight services between India and the United Arab Emirates. Airlines have reported that they had to modify their schedules following directives from UAE airport authorities. Specifically, both Air India and Air India Express have announced reductions in their flight operations for March 15. The airlines stated, “In compliance with instructions from UAE Airport Authorities, we are obliged to limit our ad-hoc operations for March 15, 2026.” Under the new schedule, Air India will only run one return flight from Delhi to Dubai, while four out of five planned flights to Dubai have been cancelled. Similarly, Air India Express will also operate just one return flight from Delhi to Dubai, cancelling five of its six scheduled services to the city. Flights to Abu Dhabi have also faced cancellations, with all five Air India Express flights to that destination being called off.

IndiGo has released a statement regarding further limitations on its flight operations to and from Dubai, attributing these changes to the ongoing situation in the Middle East. The airline noted that these restrictions have necessitated alterations in their flight schedules. “Due to the evolving situation in the Middle East, flight operations have been further restricted in Dubai, leading to changes in flight schedules,” IndiGo mentioned in its announcement. Passengers planning to travel to or from Dubai are encouraged to verify their flight status prior to arriving at the airport.
