More Dubai-bound flights from India hit by delays, cancellations

Flight disruptions on the India–Dubai route continued on Wednesday, compounding the frustration of hundreds of travellers already grappling with recurring delays and operational snags. In the latest incident, an Air India Express flight from Lucknow to Dubai was cancelled on Wednesday morning after a technical fault was detected. Flight IX 193, scheduled to depart at 8.45am from Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport, was carrying 160 passengers and eight crew members. The pilot reportedly noticed the issue after starting the engine and promptly alerted airline officials and air traffic control. 'They tried to fix the issue, but it couldn't be resolved, forcing the airline to cancel the flight,' said R. Khan, a passenger travelling with his family. Flight tracking data confirms the cancellation. Khan added that some passengers were accommodated in hotels, while others were offered refunds or assured seats on alternative flights. On the same day (Wednesday) fresh delays hit Jaipur International Airport. SpiceJet's flight SG 57 to Dubai, scheduled to take off at 9.30am, was delayed by more than seven hours and eventually departed at 4.35pm. The delay was attributed to the late arrival of the inbound aircraft, SG 58, from Dubai, which itself had departed nearly six hours behind schedule. The disruptions come just days after Khaleej Times reported a string of delays on the Jaipur–Dubai route over the weekend, with passengers on some flights waiting for up to nine hours.

Dubai: Emirates resumes daily flights to Tehran from July 18

Dubai's local carrier Emirates is all set to resume operations between the UAE and Tehran on July 18, the carrier announced on July 16. The airline had earlier extended suspensions until July 17, after initially halting flights until June 30 followed by July 5. The suspensions came amid the 12-day attacks between Israel, US and Iran, leading to some airspace closures and multiple airlines cancelling their flights. Emirates stated it will be resuming operations with daily flights to the capital city. Customers with a confirmed booking to Tehran will be accepted to travel from the point of origin, whereas those holding a confirmed booking with flydubai from Dubai to Iran will also be accepted to travel from the point of origin. Flights between Dubai and three cities in Iran via flydubai had returned to full operations since July 4. Travellers have also been advised to check their flight timings on the flight status page and in case of rebooking, they must contact travel agencies. For those who directly booked with Emirates, they can contact the airline. The world's largest international carrier said on June 24 that it had resumed regularly scheduled operations after 'minimal disruption' due to the conflict. It "took immediate action by suspending flights only to areas directly impacted by conflict while maintaining operations to all other destinations." Emirates successfully maintained scheduled services by rerouting flights to avoid conflict zones. It flew over 1.7 million passengers on more than 5,800 flights during the crisis.
