Air travel between India and the Gulf has received a major boost as the Air India group, comprising Air India and Air India Express, announced the addition of 62 extra flights connecting India with the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. The move comes at a time when regional tensions in West Asia have disrupted aviation schedules, leaving thousands of passengers scrambling for alternative travel options.
The additional flights are designed to restore connectivity and help stranded travellers return home or reach their destinations across the Gulf, a region that hosts millions of Indian expatriates and remains one of the busiest international corridors for Indian airlines.
