As airspace closures in parts of West Asia disrupt global travel, Indian airlines have stepped in with special relief flights. These flights will bring stranded passengers home.

IndiGo has scheduled 10 special flights from Jeddah to India on 3rd March, subject to regulatory clearances and airspace conditions. The airline is working closely with the Consulate General of India in Jeddah to facilitate smooth travel for affected passengers.

SpiceJet, meanwhile, will operate four special flights from the UAE on 3rd March. These services will run from Fujairah to Delhi, Mumbai and Kochi. In addition, there will be two flights to Mumbai to speed up the return of Indian nationals.

From 4th March, SpiceJet will also resume its regular flights on the Fujairah–Delhi and Fujairah–Mumbai routes. The airline said it may add more special services depending on demand and approvals.

The Ministry of Civil Aviation said it is closely monitoring the evolving situation. Airlines have made calibrated schedule adjustments, with long-haul and ultra-long-haul flights gradually resuming via alternative routes that avoid restricted airspace.

Carriers are also repositioning aircraft and crew. Furthermore, they are deploying additional capacity where required. Additionally, they are coordinating with foreign aviation authorities and Indian missions abroad to ensure safe and orderly passenger movement.
