Indian airlines plan 50 flights from West Asia on March 9 as geopolitical tensions persist in the region. The Ministry of Civil Aviation is actively monitoring airspace conditions and coordinating with carriers including Air India, IndiGo, SpiceJet, Air India Express, and Akasa Air to maintain operations while prioritizing passenger safety. On March 7, Indian airlines operated 51 inbound flights from West Asia, transporting 8,175 passengers. The government is closely tracking ticket prices to prevent undue surge pricing during this volatile period.
