HYDERABAD: Dubai has reportedly imposed restrictions, allowing only one foreign flight daily to its airports until May 31, owing to the West Asian crisis. From India alone, approximately 75 to 85 flights operate daily to Dubai, making it one of the busiest international routes. Major carriers including Emirates, Flydubai, IndiGo, and Air India Express connect multiple Indian cities to Dubai airports, with top routes from Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata, and cities in Kerala. From Hyderabad to Dubai, Emirates earlier operated three flights daily, Air India and IndiGo one each — this was the schedule before the crisis. The restrictions on foreign airlines have sparked fears of revenue losses among Indian carriers, which had planned more flights than airlines from any other country, letters show.
The war that began on February 28 forced the aviation industry to set new norms. “Such decisions at this point of time, when ATF is at an all-time high, will push operators into greater losses. There are multiple areas involved in airline operations, and restrictions like these will affect the industry,” explained Fawzan Fareed, regional manager (Operations India), Sri Lankan Airlines.
