Aviation disruptions on India-UAE routes

Overview

Airlines operating between India and the United Arab Emirates have experienced significant flight delays and cancellations. Passengers from cities such as Jaipur, Kochi, Amritsar, and New Delhi reported disruptions lasting from several hours to nearly 14 hours. At Delhi Airport, passengers staged a sit-in protest after Dubai-bound flights were delayed for over 24 hours. SpiceJet cited ‘operational reasons’ for these disruptions.

Subsequent reports indicate continued operational disruptions for SpiceJet at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport. These issues follow a pattern of recent delays and rescheduling, including the mid-September protests. The carrier has been facing ongoing financial and operational challenges that have contributed to grounding a portion of its fleet.
