The special mission under which the Indians are brought back India from Dubai was aimed at helping people who were stuck there as regular flights were cancelled, diverted and rerouted.
It was not only passengers who were stuck, either. Earlier that morning, another flight brought back over 140 Air India crew members who had been grounded in Dubai due to the chaos.
For the successful operation, Air India teams had to work around the clock with Dubai airport authorities to find a safe window to fly. For now, the airline is watching the situation closely and trying to see if they can run more of these rescue flights, provided they get the safety clearances to do so.
