Vineet Kumar Singh Stranded In Dubai

His post, shared late Monday night, read, “I am at Dubai Airport. 9:23pm Dubai Time. Immigration done. Waiting at the Gate for my flight. Fingers crossed," sparking concern. At the time, several domestic and international flights were disrupted following the sudden closure of airspace over parts of the Middle East, including the UAE, Bahrain and Qatar.

On Tuesday morning, he shared an update with his fans and followers on the platform. He wrote, "Landed (airplane emoji). Mumbai (red heart emoji)."

Middle East Airspace Closure

The airspace restrictions were implemented shortly after Iran launched at least six missiles towards US bases in Qatar, reportedly in retaliation for strikes on its nuclear infrastructure. 

Officials had described the airspace closure as a precautionary and temporary measure. Bahrain and Kuwait had also closed their countries' airspace temporarily.

After landing in Mumbai, Vineet Kumar Singh told News 18, "We were clueless around 10 pm. Then we got the news that boarding started. Flight takeoff was little late but everything was fine. Emirates Airlines and Dubai airport staff helped everyone."
