It was on Saturday (February 28) that she shared that she was stranded in Dubai after flight operations in the city were suspended amid escalating tensions across the Middle East. She had appealed to the Indian government for help in ensuring her safe return to India.
She continued, “This time, I felt that confidence too.

I truly hope this is over soon, because war is never the answer. My heart goes out to everyone facing this difficult time, and I pray for peace and an end to it all.”
Appeal for Safe Return to India
Amid continued tensions in Gulf areas, the United Arab Emirates’ civil aviation on Monday said that it will begin operating ‘special flights’ across the country’s airports to allow the departure of stranded passengers. Dubai Airports confirmed that a limited resumption of operations will begin, with a small number of flights permitted to operate from Dubai International (DXB) and Dubai World Central – Al Maktoum International (DWC), the Dubai media office said in a post.
Special Flights Resume Operations
“Travellers are advised not to proceed to DXB or DWC unless they have been contacted directly by their airline with a confirmed departure time,” it said.
Sonal’s safe return highlights the challenges faced by travelers during geopolitical crises. The resumption of special flights offered a solution, showcasing international cooperation during turbulent times and providing relief to stranded individuals.
