Air India and its budget carrier — Air India Express — announced the cancellation of all flights to and from Dubai amid escalating tensions in the Middle East.
The announcement came hours after a drone strike reported near the Dubai airport triggered a fire on Monday.
Air India said the decision followed the temporary suspension of all flight operations at Dubai International Airport.
The airline added that “passengers can either reschedule their flights for another date or cancel their booking and get full refund.”
It, however, clarified that Air India Express’ ad hoc flight operations to and from Abu Dhabi, Ras Al Khaimah and Sharjah would continue as announced. (Xinhua/NAN)
