Good to see proactive communication. The WhatsApp assistant 'Tia' is a smart touch for rebooking. Much better than waiting on hold for hours. Hope other airlines learn from this.

While the effort is appreciated, "subject to availability of slots" is a big caveat. They should have secured these before the announcement. Creates uncertainty for passengers who need to plan.

Important to note that flights to other regions like US and Europe are unaffected. This seems to be a targeted operation for West Asia, likely due to specific demand or regulatory needs there.

My brother is in Dubai and has been trying to get a flight. He got the SMS from the airline. The process seems straightforward - full refund or rebooking at no extra cost. Thumbs up for customer care this time.

Hope they add more flights if needed. The Indian diaspora in the UAE is huge, especially with many workers and families. 10 non-scheduled flights might not be enough if there's a rush.
