Families reunite at Ahmedabad airport as 200 Indians return from Jeddah 'Mideast crisis'

An IndiGo special relief flight from Jeddah brought back around 200 Indian citizens as airspace restrictions continued due to the ongoing conflict in West Asia. 

The returnees expressed gratitude to the Government of India for facilitating their safe evacuation.

The flight landed late Tuesday night at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad,



Gujarat. 

The operation was part of special efforts to repatriate Indians stranded in Jeddah, with multiple airlines deploying relief services along the route.

Emotional scenes unfolded at the airport as families reunited after days of uncertainty and anxiety. Relatives embraced one another, some in tears, as passengers stepped back onto Indian soil after experiencing fear and disruption abroad.
