West Asia crisis: SpiceJet to operate four special flights from UAE's Fujairah

In order to bring back stranded passengers, SpiceJet said on Tuesday that it will run four special flights from Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates.

Due to the closure of Middle Eastern airspace amid the intensifying crisis between the United States, Israel, and Iran, flight operations have been hampered.

SpiceJet announced in a statement that it would run four special flights on Tuesday and in the coming days to connect Fujairah with Delhi, Mumbai, and Kochi.

Out of them, two flights would be operated to Mumbai.

The airline is also exploring the possibility of operating more special flights, subject to passenger requirements and regulatory approvals.

SpiceJet will restore its scheduled Fujairah-Delhi and Fujairah-Mumbai flights from March 4, the statement said.
