Escalating tensions involving Iran have significantly disrupted air travel across parts of the Middle East, leading to widespread flight cancellations and rerouted operations.
Many travellers found themselves stranded amid the uncertainty, awaiting the gradual resumption of flight operations.Amrita and Malaika Arora’s mother Joyce Arora, who is currently stranded in Dubai told us, “I came here to celebrate my elder sister’s birthday, and just a couple of days later, we celebrated mine as well. I was supposed to return to Mumbai on March 3, but we received a notification that our flights had been cancelled due to the war.” She added, “I must say, I feel safe here. In fact, I could see the missiles being intercepted in the sky with my own eyes. It was frightening, but the Dubai military is doing a fantastic job. My daughters are in Mumbai, and they know I am in safe hands. They call me three to four times a day, and we are constantly in touch. Now that some operations have resumed, I’m hoping to return to Mumbai soon.”
