SpiceJet on Tuesday (March 3, 2026) announced that it will operate four special flights from Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates to bring back passengers who are stranded due to travel disruptions.

Flight services between India and several Middle Eastern countries have been badly affected after many nations temporarily closed their airspace. This comes amid the rising conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran. Because of safety concerns, several international flight routes have been changed, delayed, or cancelled.

Due to these sudden changes, many passengers have been unable to travel as planned. Others had already checked into hotels while waiting for fresh updates from airlines. Families in India have also been worried as their relatives remain stranded abroad.

To reduce the difficulties faced by passengers, SpiceJet has arranged four special flights from Fujairah to different destinations in India. The airline said it is coordinating closely with aviation authorities and airport officials to ensure that these flights operate safely and smoothly.

Airline officials have advised passengers to stay in touch with the airline through its website, helpline numbers, and official announcements. Travellers are also requested to reach the airport on time and carry all necessary travel documents.

The situation in the Middle East remains tense, and further changes in flight schedules may happen depending on developments in the region. Authorities are closely monitoring the situation and are ready to take additional steps if needed to assist stranded passengers.
