Gradual Return to the Skies: Indigo Flight Takes Off Again
After two days of anticipation and concern, airports across the country began witnessing limited movement of Indigo flights today, Thursday, March 5, 2026. Following announcements from Emirates, Etihad Airways, and Qatar Airways that they would continue suspending their operations due to the regional airspace disruption, the Indian low-cost carrier has resumed operating a number of flights towards major Indian cities.
Yesterday, March 4, saw a combined total of 58 flights operated by Indigo and Air India. Today, Indigo resumes on a limited basis, with efforts focused on safely transporting passengers currently in the UAE back home. We are thankful for everyone's safety.
