Air India has announced that its international flights that typically overfly Iranian airspace will now use alternative routes following the closure of Iran’s skies amid rising regional tensions, potentially leading to delays for affected services. The airline posted on X (formerly Twitter) that the changes are necessary due to the evolving situation and the safety of passengers and crew remains its top priority. In some cases where rerouting isn’t feasible, flights may be cancelled, and passengers are advised to check flight status before departure. The disruption stems from Iran’s airspace shutdown, which has impacted several airlines globally. (PC: India Today)
