Air India, its subsidiary to operate 58 flights to and from West Asia on March 11

While Air India will operate eight flights to and from Jeddah, Air India Express will be operating 14 scheduled flights to and from Muscat, it stated.

As the ongoing US-Israel led military campaign against Iran escalates, full-service carrier Air India and its low-cost arm Air India Express on Tuesday said they will operate a total of 58 scheduled and non-scheduled flights to and from West Asia on March 11.

Airlines have been operating services cautiously due to airspace restrictions and closures due to the conflict. 

The two carriers will continue their scheduled services to and from Jeddah and Muscat on March 11, Air India said in a statement.

Air India will operate eight flights to and from Jeddah, while Air India Express will operate 14 scheduled flights to and from Muscat.

On Wednesday, Air India will run one round-trip each from Delhi and Mumbai to Jeddah. Air India Express will operate one round-trip each from Hyderabad and Kozhikode to Jeddah.

Air India Express will also operate its scheduled services to Muscat, including one round-trip each from Delhi, Mumbai, Kannur, Thiruvananthapuram and Tiruchirappalli, and two round-trips from Kochi.

In addition to scheduled services, Air India and Air India Express will operate 36 ad-hoc non-scheduled flights to and from the United Arab Emirates, subject to the availability of slots and other conditions at the departure points.

These flights are being operated with the required permissions from the relevant Indian and local regulatory authorities.
