Iran conflict: Over 750 international flights canceled across India
Travel plans hit a snag on Tuesday as Delhi Airport canceled 80 international flights—36 departures and 44 arrivals—because airspace over Iran and nearby regions is closed due to the ongoing conflict.
Across India, airlines have had to cancel around 750 international flights in just two days, leaving many passengers affected.
Air India, Emirates resume limited operations
Air India managed to bring back 149 people stuck in Dubai, landing safely in Delhi—the first flight by an Indian carrier to arrive in New Delhi that day.
Emirates has also partially resumed operations between Dubai and India.
Meanwhile, IndiGo is operating special relief flights, trying to get more people home despite the disruptions.
Expect delays or changes in your journey
If you or someone you know is traveling internationally this week, expect delays or changes.
With airspace closures forcing planes to take longer routes (like detouring via Rome), journeys are getting longer and schedules are all over the place.
It's a tough situation for travelers and airlines alike, but efforts are underway to assist affected passengers.
