Indian carriers in talks to reschedule Dubai flights during runway closure

Low cost Indian carriers such as IndiGo and SpiceJet are toying with the idea of rescheduling flight timings and temporarily changing their operating terminals at Dubai as part of the possible alternative options to minimise the impact of the proposed closure of one of the main runways at the Dubai International airport (DXB) from April 16 next year, senior officials at the Indian carriers said.

Senior executives of SpiceJet, IndiGo and other Indian carriers, who operate dozens of daily flights from various Indian airports to Dubai, are currently in discussions with authorities at DXB on various measures that they could resort to minimise the impact on their operations during the partial closure at the Dubai main airport.

Officials at Indian airlines said the disruptions at DXB are expected to have maximum impact on their day time flights to and from Dubai.
The airlines will get the leeway to make necessary rescheduling changes to their flights to Dubai, as the timing of the proposed runway closure at DXB will coincide with the changeover to their summer schedules. Indian carriers switch over to their summer schedule from the last Sunday of March.
