Simultaneously, SpiceJet will run four special flights from the United Arab Emirates on March 3 to aid the return of Indian nationals following the unexpected closure of airspace. These flights will operate from Fujairah to Delhi, Mumbai, and Kochi, including two flights to Mumbai, to expedite the repatriation process for passengers.
Starting March 4, SpiceJet will also resume its regular services between Fujairah–Delhi and Fujairah–Mumbai, which will help restore connectivity between the UAE and India. The airline is considering the possibility of adding more special flights based on passenger demand and regulatory approvals.
