Amid rising tensions across the Middle East, Air India successfully brought back 149 stranded passengers from Dubai. The flight landed safely at Indira Gandhi International Airport early this morning, providing relief to travelers affected by recent aviation disruptions in the region.
The passengers had been stranded after several flights were delayed or suspended due to regional security concerns and temporary airspace restrictions across parts of the Middle East. Authorities had been closely monitoring the situation as airlines adjusted operations to ensure passenger safety.
Officials confirmed that the repatriation flight was arranged to assist Indian travelers who were unable to return home following the sudden disruption of regular flight services. Airport authorities coordinated with airline teams to facilitate the safe arrival and processing of passengers upon landing in Delhi.
Airline representatives stated that the operation was carried out with all necessary safety protocols while ensuring passengers were provided with assistance during the journey. Additional support was also arranged at the airport to help travelers continue their onward travel across India.
Aviation officials said they continue to monitor the evolving situation in regional airspace, while airlines gradually restore normal flight schedules. More special flights may be arranged if necessary to assist passengers affected by the ongoing disruptions.
