Flight services between Kolkata and Dubai resumed partially early Thursday after a four-day halt triggered by the escalating conflict in the Middle East, airport officials said. ADVERTISEMENTThe Boeing 737 Max aircraft had originally been scheduled to arrive at 12:25 am, officials said. After a brief turnaround, the same aircraft departed for Dubai at 3:59 am carrying 55 passengers. The last flight to leave Kolkata for the Middle East before the suspension was an Emirates service to Dubai on February 28, according to airport officials. Officials said there is still no clear timeline for the full restoration of all Middle East routes from Kolkata.
