I’m trying to contact your call center / chat agents since yesterday to check if my flight is expected to resume operations failing which possibility of accommodation on the other flight on the same route. But it is impossible to get through. Please help.

@IndiGo6E my family and I have tickets (UAE to India) for mid next week (booked in Jan 26). The flight in question hasn’t operated since 28/02. Another flight operated by indigo for the same route has been operating since the last 2 days.

Big lie. Fake news. I boarded the first emirates flight this morning along with hundreds others who wanted to go back. Unfortunately, that flight had to turn around half way and come back due to closure of airspace. Almost everyone around me immediately tried booking on Oman Air to Muscat, to drive back. I along with few other got lucky. As I am about to take off now, the flight is full of people like me who are going home. Just do the same story with the number of people who are flying "in" through neighbouring countries and you will know the truth. Get well soon. See you on the other side.

The toxic nonsense of idiots who crap on friendly countries is so cringe. UAE has been a great partner and good friend and we should actually be sad at what is happening there. Totally agree 👇

Wow.

Dear Indians, in your bid to score brownie points in a social media debate, don’t lose sight of country’s strategic long term interests and hence important that we don’t use Iranian attack on UAE and other ME allies for our debate. This is a time to stand with the region that is home to employment of more than a crore Indians. GC debate can wait for few days, if you can’t do it without bringing in Middle Eastern plight to score n win brownie points!

@vinsinners 17+ years for me.

I’ve lived in Dubai for 21 years. It’s my home away from home. In the last 24 hours, I’ve seen some major global handles mock this city because of the adversity it now faces. If you invested in Dubai, you weren’t forced to, if you chose to make it your home, it was also a choice and most of us Indians living in Dubai will stand by the city, its leadership. This doesn’t mean I don’t love my country. I am Indian and my Father fought 3 wars for India, my Grand Uncle was a Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu for 10 years. I am a hardcore patriot but upbringing is everything. Integrity is key. Some of these handles can do some reading up on the concept. #istandwithdubai

@UIDAI Have DMed the details

@Ashumodi Dear Aadhaar Number Holder, Please share your acknowledgement slip via direct message so that we can check.

@UIDAI what documents are required to register NRIs for Aadhaar? Individuals are 9 and 15 and one is born outside India. Both hold valid Indian passports

@saket71 My first office lunch at Pizza Hut in the UAE - I asked for a vegetarian salad. The Filipino lady gave me salad with salmon in it. I had to tell her that ‘Indian vegetarian’ means no fish, no meat, no poultry and no eggs. 🤷🏾‍♂️

There’s comprehension issue in Malaysia. I was there some twenty years back in 2006-7, remember that on asking veg burger they gave fish burger, luckily the lady while giving it said- Vegetarian burger, no meat, only fish. From then on, I made it a practice to ask- No meat, no fish, no egg

Dhurandhar in UAE???

Carefree Fridays Share your liberating, uplifting shots

Hey @UnderArmour, I’ve had the UA HOVR Sonic 3 for the longest time. They are in tatters but o can’t let go because they are one of the most comfortable shoes I’ve had. Any store here in the UAE that still stocks ‘em?

Niece got 98.2%. 🎉 Daughter is scared 🤣

To the Right Honourable Dr. @ShashiTharoor , In an age assailed by orchestrated disinformation and calibrated deceit, your resolute dismantling of Pakistani falsehoods upon the global stage was nothing short of an act of intellectual valour and statesmanlike fortitude. It was a thunderous reaffirmation of civilisational integrity, marshalled through forensic articulation and irrefutable command over truth. What you delivered was neither performance nor polemic, but a strategic obliteration of duplicity, executed with linguistic puissance, historical clarity, and moral ascendancy. As a thinking follower of your work, I stand both edified and emboldened by the precision of your intervention and the dignity with which you carried the weight of our collective voice. With the highest measure of esteem and solidarity, SKS P.S.: Penned this while wrestling with a thesaurus for 20 straight minutes... trust it does justice to the gravitas of your stand.

How Mumbai Airport Quietly Kept India’s Skies Moving While the nation’s attention was locked onto missile launches, diplomatic briefings, and high-stakes military coordination, an invisible operation was unfolding at ground level—one that didn’t involve uniforms or war rooms, but was no less vital. Mumbai Airport and its Air Traffic Control team emerged as one of the quietest pillars of India’s resilience during the India–Pakistan escalation. Nobody's talking about it. But they should be. When Pakistan closed its airspace and multiple airports across northern India went offline or faced partial disruption, Mumbai became the fallback air corridor—not by plan, but by necessity. The numbers tell the story. Mumbai’s airspace typically manages around 750 international overflights every day, balanced delicately over a criss-cross runway that’s already one of the busiest in Asia. Add the usual 900+ domestic takeoffs and landings, and you have a sky operating near maximum load—on a normal day. But this wasn’t normal. Overnight, Mumbai’s airspace load surged by over 60%. At its peak, more than 1,200 international rerouted overflights were redirected through Mumbai FIR (Flight Information Region), taking the daily traffic in its skies well beyond 2,000 aircraft movements. Major carriers like British Airways, Lufthansa, Emirates, Thai Airways, and many others—unable to traverse northern corridors—rerouted through the western window. This was not just about holding altitudes and assigning vectors. It was about preventing chaos when the margin for error was zero. Imagine ten aircraft approaching simultaneously. Imagine the stakes if even one sequencing call was delayed, miscommunicated, or misread. One misstep, and you risk an international aviation incident. But none of that happened. Mumbai’s ATC worked like clockwork. Quiet. Disciplined. Flawless. No headlines. No interviews. Just relentless professionalism. Keeping those skies open was not only essential for continuity of global and domestic commerce—it was a symbol of stability. Amid geopolitical tremors, Mumbai became the calm in the storm, ensuring business travelers, cargo routes, medical flights, and humanitarian corridors stayed operational. And above all, it gave India something invaluable: a psychological anchor of normalcy. So while the nation salutes our soldiers, we must also acknowledge the men and women behind radar screens, headsets, and tower consoles—the silent sentinels who kept India connected when the sky could have collapsed into confusion. They didn’t wear uniforms, but they served. #AviationHeroes #MumbaiATC #NationalResilience #SilentStrength #JaiHind
