Air India is canceling most if not all of its flights to and from the UAE this weekend, which is expected to seriously disrupt travel to India as the UAE is a major regional hub.

The staff at the state-owned carrier said no new bookings would be accepted for the foreseeable future as over 600 pilots with the Indian Commercial Pilots Association (ICPA) union continue on a strike which began on April 27. Air India officials say they have no idea when the situation is likely to be resolved, and all flights to and from Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Chennai and Goa were affected. Those who already booked for canceled flights are being found alternatives on other airlines, charter aircraft and larger planes where possible, but it has been an uncertain week for many waiting to learn whether they would be able to make their trips.

The low cost airline FlyDubai has introduced new flights three times a week on its route from Hyderabad to Dubai. The additional flights are being added to serve the fast growing budget travel market in the Middle East region.

The new route is the Dubai-based airline's second to India and it expands the carrier's network to 37 destinations across the MENA region. India is a key destination for FlyDubai and will provide a low cost alternative tot he existing full service and other budget carriers operating in the country today. The airline targets the business community, tourists and the Indian expat community in the UAE. Over 1.8 million Indian expatriates make their livelihoods and careers in the UAE, and there are several domestic and international airlines which have operate over 500 flights between the two countries every week.
