UAE travel ban
After Hong Kong and the UK, UAE announced to ban passengers from India for ten days starting April 25, 2021. Passengers, who have transmitted from India in the past 14 days, are also not being allowed.
No ban on private jets
However, there is an exemption for private jets, which can fly to the country from India. Indians from the millions-strong expat community in the UAE, stranded in their homeland during a catastrophic coronavirus surge, are thus now swamping private jet operators with requests to whisk them back to safety. Fearing a prolonged flight ban between India and the Gulf state, they aim to use the exemption for private business planes.
