India-UAE travel: flight bookings soar ahead of Covid-19 restrictions easing – The National

India is getting set for an influx of travellers from next week when the country resumes regular international flight services.

From March 27, commercial airlines can fly to the country after nearly two years.

Many people have been waiting on the restrictions to lift — India is now the second most popular destination booked from the UAE for the rest of the year, according to data from travel agency site Skyscanner. The Philippines, which lifted its nearly two-year ban on tourists in February, remains the most popular destination booked from the UAE.
