Air India Express to resume Dubai flights after suspension is lifted

Airline makes announcement after earlier being suspended by Dubai Civil Aviation Authority for coronavirus violations

Air India Express has announced that all its flights to and from Dubai will operate as normal from Saturday, overturning a suspension issued by Dubai Civil Aviation Authority just hours earlier.

Although there has been no official word yet from authorities in Dubai, the airline tweeted the announcement in the early hours of Saturday to inform passengers, citing comments by India's civil aviation minister Hardeep Singh Puri.



The tweet came just hours after its Dubai flights were rescheduled to Sharjah following a 15-day suspension of its Dubai operations ordered by the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority.

Dubai's Civil Aviation Authority originally suspended Air India Express flights to the city until October 2 for bringing passengers with Covid-positive certificates
