SpiceJet announced four special flights from the UAE on March 3. These services will operate from Fujairah to Delhi, Mumbai, and Kochi. Two flights will land in Mumbai. The airline will also resume regular flights between Fujairah and Delhi and Mumbai from March 4.

Around 357 flights were cancelled on Monday due to airspace restrictions. Operations resumed gradually by evening. The government is coordinating with airlines, airport operators, and the Ministry of External Affairs. Officials aim to restore services safely and assist affected passengers.

Airlines have adjusted schedules and rerouted long-haul flights to avoid restricted zones. Aircraft and crew repositioning is underway to stabilise operations. Foreign carriers are running limited services based on airspace conditions. The government stated that passenger safety remains the top priority.

Refunds worth ₹827 crore were given, but the trouble for travellers did not end. In Bihar, 172 flights from Patna, Gaya, Darbhanga, and Purnia were cancelled in the last week. Patna faced the most disruption with 146 cancelled flights.

Passengers paid five to six times the normal fare to reach major cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru. Some missed important work and family events. Two SpiceJet flights from Patna were also cancelled on Monday. Twenty-four pairs of IndiGo flights to and from Patna will remain cancelled on Tuesday.

At Patna Airport, the Air India Express ticket counter ran out of tickets for three days. Flights from Mumbai to Darbhanga and Patna were also cancelled.

In Purnia, flight 6E-6559/6560 to Delhi was cancelled on Tuesday, even though all 10 flights had operated on Monday. This caused fresh worry for travellers, as Delhi flights had faced repeated cancellations earlier as well.
