A total of 7,650 Indian nationals were flown back to India from Doha on Qatar Airways flights between March 20 and 22, the Indian embassy in Qatar said on Monday.

The Indian Embassy in Doha informed that Qatar Airways operated 25 flights to India between March 20 and 22, carrying around 7,750 Indian nationals.

Global air travel continues to face major disruptions as the Iran war has forced the shutdown of key Middle Eastern hubs such as Dubai, Doha and Abu Dhabi, leaving thousands of passengers unable to travel as planned.

IndiGo has suspended flights to several destinations — including Doha, Kuwait, Bahrain, Dammam, Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah and Sharjah — until March 28.

Around 3.75 lakh passengers have returned to India from West Asia since February 28, the MEA said.
