Air India on Tuesday said it will progressively resume flights to the Middle East as airspaces are gradually reopening in the region and most of the operations will resume from June 25.

The Tata Group-owned airline flies to 13 cities in the Middle East, operating around 900 flights per week.

"Flights to and from Europe, previously cancelled, are also being progressively reinstated from today, while services to and from the East Coast of the US and Canada will resume at the earliest opportunity," the airline said in a statement.

"Our first flight to the region today will be on the Delhi–Muscat route, followed by services on the Mumbai–Muscat, Kozhikode–Muscat, Kozhikode–Riyadh, and Jaipur–Jeddah routes," it said.

On Monday, Air India temporarily suspended operations to these regions in the wake of the rising tensions in the Middle East. Some countries in the region had also closed their airspaces.

The carrier said it is progressively resuming its operations to the Middle East from Tuesday as airspaces in the region reopen.

"Some flights may experience delays or cancellations due to consequential impacts and extended re-routings/flight times, but we are committed to minimising disruptions and our restoring schedule integrity.

Air India will continue to avoid airspaces assessed as unsafe at any given time," the airline said on Tuesday.

The airline's flights to key cities in the UAE -- including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Al Ain, and Ras Al Khaimah -- as well as other cities in the Middle East, are scheduled from Wednesday.

Meanwhile, IndiGo said its flight services to Gulf countries have stabilised and are operating as scheduled.

"However, as airspace over Iran remains restricted, some flights may take alternate routes, which could result in longer travel times," the carrier said in a post on X.
