UAE-India Flights Surge to 90 on Sunday, Seafarer Safety Ensured

Travel momentum builds as 90 flights are lined up from the UAE to India this Sunday, complemented by steady arrivals from Saudi Arabia and Oman. Officials in New Delhi shared this positive note on aviation recovery.

Expect 9-10 non-scheduled Qatar Airways flights too, thanks to selective airspace reopenings. It’s a step forward for connectivity strained by Middle East dynamics.

Kuwait and Bahrain airspaces stay grounded, yet Jazeera Airways flies from Saudi’s Al Qaisumah, and Gulf Air from Dammam with specials. These detours aid Indians bypassing bans in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Iraq via Saudi hubs.

The shipping sector, per the Ports Ministry, maintains trade flow while prioritizing Indian seafarers. 547-plus have returned home safely, 13 freshly so.

Zero incidents on Indian ships yesterday; 22 vessels with 611 crew safe in the Gulf. Directorate oversight involves ship owners, RPSLs, and embassies seamlessly.

Control room stats: 3,730 calls, 7,058 emails responded to, with 60 calls and 129 emails in 24 hours. Ports run efficiently, no queues, state boards confirm.

India’s proactive stance safeguards its people and trade arteries effectively.
