Tensions in West-Asia lead to flight cancelations
Flights at Kozhikode's Calicut International Airport hit a snag on Tuesday, June 24, 2025, as the Iran-Israel conflict led to several cancelations.
Key routes connecting Kerala with Gulf and West Asian cities—like Dubai, Doha, Bahrain, Riyadh, and more—were affected.
Both Flydubai and Air India Express had to call off flights, leaving many travelers in limbo.
Cancelations affect travelers
These canceled flights are a big deal for Kerala's huge expat community and business travelers who rely on these routes for work and family visits.
With even the late-night Sharjah flight grounded, a lot of plans have been thrown off.
Flight operations to resume once airspace restrictions ease up
Airport officials are urging everyone to double-check their flight status before heading out.
Operations will restart once airspace restrictions ease up.
