The resumption of flight services between Gulf countries, the Middle East and India has brought some relief to Indians stranded amid the escalating US-Iran conflict.

Airlines, including Emirates and IndiGo, are expected to operate their flights and special relief services on Tuesday.
The Ministry of Civil Aviation said it is closely monitoring the airspace situation in parts of the Middle East and its impact on international flight operations. “Indian airlines have made calibration adjustments to their schedules, with long-haul and ultra-long-haul operations gradually resuming through alternative routes that avoid restricted airspace,” an official press release said.
Meanwhile, tensions continued to rise between Iran, Israel and the United States, with Tehran vowing to avenge the killing of its supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Joint strikes launched by the armies of Israel and the United States led to the killing of the Supreme Leader last week. US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said that the operation has a “clear and decisive mission” which is to “destroy the missile threat” from Iran, adding that this is not “a so-called regime change war.”

– At least 14 people, including six security personnel, were injured on the second day of protests in Jammu and Kashmir, as citizens took to the streets to condemn and mourn Khamenei’s killing. Some demonstrations were held in Jammu, while 75 rallies were held across the Kashmir Valley, officials said.
– The first Indian casualty in the ongoing US-Iran war was reported on Monday night when a drone boat carrying bombs collided with a Marshall Islands-flagged oil tanker in the Gulf of Oman. The state-run Oman News Agency said one of the dead crew members of the ship MKD VYOM was from India.
– Many Indians remain stranded in conflict-torn regions, including Iran, Israel, Dubai and Abu Dhabi, where families have become increasingly “stressed” due to rising tensions in the Middle East.
– Prime Minister Narendra Modi made three phone calls to leaders in the Middle East: the King of Bahrain, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia, and the King of Jordan. The Prime Minister expressed India’s solidarity with these three countries, and thanked their leaders for caring for the Indian community in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Jordan.
– Four Etihad Airways flights from Dubai and Abu Dhabi touched down in various Indian cities on Monday evening, bringing some relief to families.
– Emirates Airlines will operate services between Dubai and five cities, including Delhi, Chennai, Bengaluru, Mumbai and Hyderabad, on March 3. IndiGo will operate ten special relief flights from Jeddah to Hyderabad, Mumbai, Delhi and Ahmedabad on March 3.
– Air India Express is also likely to operate some relief flights as it resumes operations from Muscat on Tuesday.
