Air India Express will also continue scheduled services to Muscat, including one round-trip each from Delhi and Mumbai and two round-trips from Kozhikode.

In addition to these scheduled services, the airlines plan to operate about 40 non-scheduled flights to and from destinations in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, subject to slot availability and regulatory approvals.

Flights to several other West Asian destinations remain temporarily suspended.

Air India said all its flights to and from North America, Europe, Australia and other regions continue to operate as scheduled.

Passengers booked on routes where services remain suspended can rebook for a later date without additional charges or opt for a full refund, the airline said.
