Ahmedabad’s air travel continues to face disruptions as the conflict in West Asia stretches into its 13th day. The escalation began on February 28, following air strikes by the United States and Israel targeting Iran.
As tensions rise, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport has seen over ten flights to and from the Gulf region cancelled, affecting connections with major cities like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha, Jeddah, Kuwait City, and Baghdad.
