Air India Group and IndiGo will operate parallel schedules to and from West Asia on Wednesday, with Air India and Air India Express planning 30 services and IndiGo also lining up 30 flights as carriers manage changing airspace conditions.
Air India said 16 of its 30 flights will be non-scheduled services to and from the United Arab Emirates, subject to slot availability and operational conditions, and operating with approvals from Indian and UAE authorities. Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah will continue to be served only through ad hoc operations. Air India and Air India Express will run services from Delhi to Dubai. Abu Dhabi will be connected by Air India Express flights from Delhi, Kochi, Mangalore and Mumbai. Sharjah will see flights from Amritsar and Kannur. No operations are planned for Ras Al Khaimah and Al Ain.
In Oman, scheduled services will continue on the Muscat route, with Air India Express operating flights from Delhi, Mumbai and Kannur; Salalah remains without operations.
Saudi Arabia will have limited scheduled connectivity. Air India will operate Jeddah flights from Delhi and Mumbai, while Air India Express will connect Kozhikode and Mangalore to Jeddah. Riyadh will have scheduled operations though details are limited for the day; Dammam remains suspended.
Flights to Bahrain, Doha, Kuwait and Tel Aviv continue to be suspended.
IndiGo has scheduled 30 flights across its Middle East network, linking Indian cities including Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Kochi with destinations such as Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, Jeddah, Muscat and Sharjah. “With travel conditions across the Middle East changing, staying updated is important. Flight schedules may change, and customers are requested to check their latest flight status before heading to the airport,” an IndiGo spokesperson said.
Air India Group said its long-haul operations to North America, Europe and Australia remain unaffected and are continuing as per schedule, indicating disruptions are largely confined to West Asia routes.
Passengers affected by cancellations have been offered free rebooking or full refunds, while Air India Express has allowed UAE-bound passengers to shift to alternate flights within its network without additional charges.
