An Emirates flight from Dubai arrived at Mumbai airport on Tuesday afternoon. This was one of the first few commercial flights that managed to arrive at the city airport from the West Asian city amid the conflict in the region and the subsequent spate of flight cancellations due to airspace restrictions. Passengers claimed that they had been told that six daily flights from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to India had begun, and the count would increase in the coming days.
