Due to heavy rain in the UAE, more than 30 flights operating between India and Dubai had to be cancelled on Tuesday and Wednesday. These include Air India, Air India Express, Indigo, Emirates, and SpiceJet Airlines flights.
An Air India spokesperson said the airline is trying to accommodate the affected passengers on other flights in the next few days and reach their destination as soon as possible. Also, the airline provides one-time change date flexibility to passengers holding tickets valid for April 16 and 17 to reschedule their flights within the ticket’s validity period.
Air India operates 72 flights a week to Dubai from various cities. An official said that on Wednesday, 10 flights from Delhi Airport to Dubai and nine incoming flights were cancelled. An Air India Express spokesperson said three UAE flights were delayed on both days, and seven flights had to be cancelled.
The airline has given the affected passengers the option of a full refund and free rescheduling. IndiGo said it had to cancel 13 flights to and from Dubai on Wednesday. It requested passengers to look for alternative flight options or request a full refund.
