Amid the ongoing Middle East war, flight operations have been disrupted across several parts of the world. Airports and flights, however, continue to function amid restrictions, especially for stranded travellers in the UAE waiting to return home. India continues to operate flights to and from Abu Dhabi, but ticket prices have surged due to high demand, limited services and a sharp rise in jet fuel prices driven by the Iran-US war.
