Air India Flights Canceled Amid Iranian Airspace Closure

Air India has canceled at least three flights to the US and certain flights to Europe may face delays due to the closure of Iranian airspace. This move, prompted by mounting tensions between Iran and the US, has forced airlines to reroute flights, impacting schedules and passenger convenience.

Air India has been forced to cancel several flights destined for the United States and delay certain routes to Europe following the abrupt closure of Iranian airspace. The cancellations affect two flights from India's capital to New York and Newark and one from Mumbai to New York.

As tensions between the US and Iran escalate, the closure of Iranian airspace has compelled Air India to reroute its flights over Iraqi airspace, leading to potential delays. The airline stated, 'The safety of our passengers is paramount, and we regret any inconvenience caused due to this unforeseen disruption.'

IndiGo and SpiceJet have also reported disruptions in their operations, acknowledging the challenging situation that could potentially escalate. With ongoing airspace closures by Pakistan, airlines continue to seek viable alternatives while striving to aid affected travelers.
