This comes after EaseMyTrip CEO Nishant Pitti on Monday promised to start charter flight services.
“If you or someone you know needs assistance, please join the channel and share this message widely,” Nishant Pitti wrote on X.
He also urged people to join a WhatsApp channel for updates and travel support, aimed at helping the Indians stranded in the United Arab Emirates.
Major hubs, including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Muscat, have witnessed hundreds of flight cancellations over the weekend. As a result, many Indians are reported to be stranded in the conflict-stricken nations.
Partial operations of flights have started from Dubai and Abu Dhabi airports. However, not all routes are open.
