Limited flight operations between India and some cities of West Asia resumed on Tuesday but thousands remain stranded as the airspace disruptions continued, as the US and Israel’s conflict with Iran entered the fourth day. At Calcutta airport, all flights to West Asia destinations like Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Doha continued to remain suspended on Tuesday. The airport officials said there was no information on whether any evacuation flight from West Asia would be operating to the city. SpiceJet will also operate special flights to facilitate the return of Indian nationals stranded in the UAE. We are grateful to the concerned authorities whose coordination has made these special flights possible.”
