Dubai to India flights: Dubai Airport has announced the partial resumption of flights from Dubai to several international destinations, including India, following regional airspace closures due to the Iran-Israel war. On Monday, in an advisory, Dubai Media Office stated that limited flights will operate from Dubai International (DXB) and Dubai World Central – Al Maktoum International (DWC).

It also advised the travellers not to proceed to DXB or DWC unless they have been directly contacted by their airline with a confirmed departure time.

However, despite the advisory, many tourists are planning to return back to their countries and are seeking clarity on several important concerns. Here, we have explained the key questions that every traveller should know before commencing their journey.

No. If the concerned airline has not confirmed that the flight is operating, Dubai Airport authorities have advised passengers not to travel to the airport. It also said that anyone arriving without confirmed flight status, will be turned away without confirmation.

Dubai Airports said that it is working in close coordination with airlines and other relevant authorities to facilitate the resumption of operations. However, due to the ongoing situation, the airport said that it is closely monitoring developments and will continue to share updates through its official channels.

• Could flight schedules continue to change after resumption of operations?

• Limited operations at Dubai Airport: Here’s how flights are being prioritised

• 
  Confused about flight status? Why are some flights operating while mine isn’t?

The incident, which occurred in the early hours of Sunday, March 1, 2026, caused minor structural damage to a concourse and left four airport staff injured. In response, the UAE General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) took the unprecedented step of closing national airspace to all commercial traffic, citing “exceptional precautionary measures” for passenger safety.

A Giant Displaced

For Emirates, the world’s largest operator of the Airbus A380, the timing could not have been worse. As a carrier built on the “hub-and-spoke” model, nearly its entire operation relies on the ability to transit through Dubai. With the home base compromised, the airline’s flagship superjumbos are now “orphaned” at outstations from New York to Manila.

Industry analysts suggest that having nearly 100 of these $450 million aircraft immobilized is costing the airline millions in lost revenue and logistical penalties every hour.

Where is the Fleet?

While 37 aircraft remain at the now-silent DXB, the rest of the active fleet is currently parked at international gateways. Passengers at these airports have reported seeing the iconic double-decker jets lined up on taxiways and remote stands, waiting for a “green light” from UAE defense authorities.
