Air India, IndiGo plan to resume Qatar flights as Gulf airspace situation improves; IndiGo shares face pressure

As the overall flight situation in the Gulf region continues to improve, Air India and IndiGo are also planning to resume flight operations from Qatar to India soon, the Ministry of External Affairs announced on Monday.

With Qatar airspace partially open, Qatar Airways is already operating flights to various destinations in India, according to a statement issued by the MEA.

Additional flights are now operating from the Middle East, with around 105 flights expected on Monday between the UAE and India as airlines continue to operate limited commercial services from Dubai and Abu Dhabi based on operational and safety considerations.

Flights continue to operate from various airports in Saudi Arabia and Oman to destinations in India. Kuwait airspace is also open, with Jazeera Airways and Kuwait Airways resuming limited operations to India. Bahrain airspace is open as well, with Gulf Air operating flights to multiple Indian destinations.

Besides, Iraq's airspace is open with limited flight operations that can be used for onward travel to India.

Iran's airspace is partially open for cargo and chartered flights, but Indian nationals are advised to avoid travelling to Iran, and those already there are urged to leave via land routes with embassy support, the MEA said. So far, the Indian embassy in Tehran has facilitated the movement of 2,445 Indian nationals through land border routes.

Israel's airspace is also open, with limited flight operations resuming to regional destinations that can be used for travel to India.
