Air India schedules 20 ad-hoc flights to UAE on 31 March to clear backlog of stranded passengers

Air India and Air India Express will operate 20 extra UAE flights on 31 March 2026, offering stranded residents a final chance to return before the visa grace period lapses. Rebooking fees are waived, but operations depend on dynamic slot and air-space approvals, so travellers and employers should monitor schedules closely.
