Iran closes airspace, Air India Indigo and other airlines issue advisory

New Delhi (The Uttam Hindu): The worsening situation in Iran has started impacting international air travel. Due to security concerns, Iran has completely closed its airspace. As a result, several major airlines, including Air India and IndiGo, have issued travel advisories for passengers.

Airlines stated that with Iranian airspace shut, most flights passing through the region are being operated via alternative routes. This has increased flight durations and led to delays, while some services have also been cancelled.
