Air India Group Announces 30 West Asia Flights Amid Iran War Disruptions Air India and Air India Express have announced plans to operate 30 scheduled and non-scheduled flights to and from the West Asia region on April 6, 2026, amid ongoing tensions in the Middle East. The decision comes as the airline group seeks to maintain connectivity despite the geopolitical uncertainties affecting the region. The flights will include 10 non-scheduled services to and from the United Arab Emirates (UAE), with the group emphasizing its efforts to explore additional ad-hoc flights to other West Asian destinations. The airline group clarified that services to the UAE are subject to the availability of flight slots and prevailing conditions at departure stations. It stated that all operations will comply with the necessary permissions from both Indian and UAE regulatory authorities. The flights will connect major cities in the Middle East, including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Ras Al Khaimah, Sharjah, Muscat, Jeddah, and Riyadh. The Air India Group outlined its refund policy for passengers affected by suspended services. Passengers booked on routes with temporarily suspended scheduled flights can either rebook for a later date without additional costs or request a full refund. The airline directed passengers to submit rebooking or cancellation requests through its official website at https://airindia.com or contact the 24×7 customer support hotline at +911169329333 or +911169329999. For Air India Express passengers traveling from UAE stations, the group provided specific guidance. Those booked on routes affected by service suspensions can rebook their flights without extra charges on Air India Express’ additional commercial flights operating from any UAE station to Indian destinations.#united_arab_emirates #air_india_express #uae #air_india #muscat
