New Delhi, 10 March (H.S.): Tata Group carriers Air India and Air India Express will operate 60 flights to West Asian destinations Tuesday, including 32 special services to the United Arab Emirates, as Saudi Arabia and Omani airspaces remain open amid the Iran conflict.

In an X post, the airlines detailed 14 round-trips each to Jeddah and Muscat: Air India from Delhi and Mumbai to Jeddah, Air India Express linking Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Mangaluru, and Kozhikode to Jeddah, plus multiple Muscat routes from Mumbai, Delhi, Kochi, Kozhikode, Mangaluru, Trichy, and Thiruvananthapuram.

The additional 32 ad-hoc UAE flights—connecting Indian cities to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and Ras Al-Khaimah—carry regulatory approvals, with passengers able to rebook or refund cancellations to other West Asian points through March 13 via airindia.com. Air India affirmed close monitoring of developments, promising updates as situations evolve.
