Travel of nearly 7,000 stranded Indians, especially (those in) transit and those on short term visits, have been facilitated and returned to India over the past three days. Airlines are focussed on gradually increasing these non-scheduled flights from different airports in the UAE depending on airspace safety and operational clearances by the authorities,” the Indian embassy in Abu Dhabi said on X Thursday.
