Airlines halt many Middle East flights after Israel hits Iran
Passengers stranded after flight cancellations at Beirut's Rafik Hariri International Airport amid regional airspace shutdown. (AP pic) PARIS : Global airlines on Friday cancelled flights to Tel Aviv, Tehran and other Middle East destinations, or rerouted planes, as airspaces were shut off following Israeli strikes on Iran. Israel, Iran, Iraq, Jordan and Syria closed their airspaces after Israel hit military and nuclear facilities in Iran. Israel said Tehran launched drones in retaliation. Air India's New Delhi-Vienna and Mumbai-London flights were about to enter Iranian airspace when Israel launched its attack, forcing the planes to turn back to their origin, according to aircraft tracker Flight Aware. Its London-New Delhi flight had just entered Iranian airspace and was rerouted over Iraq before arriving in India one hour late, according to Flight Aware. Air India diverted or called back a total of 16 flights between India and London and cities in Canada and the US 'due to the emerging situation in Iran'. Emirates, the Middle East's largest airline, cancelled flights to and from Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Iran after Israel launched the strikes. Qatar Airways, the country's national carrier and one of the Middle East's largest, said it had 'temporarily cancelled flights to Iran and Iraq due to (the) current situation in the region'. Air France said it was suspending its flights to and from Tel Aviv 'until further notice' following the closure of Israeli airspace. 'Air France is closely monitoring the situation in the Middle East in real time,' a spokesman for the French airline told AFP, adding that 'the safety of its customers and crews is its absolute priority'. US carrier Delta Air Lines said it is pausing service between New York's John F Kennedy airport and Tel Aviv through August 31 'in response to the ongoing conflict in the region.' United Airlines, another US carrier, said service between its Newark, New Jersey hub and Tel Aviv is paused. United arranged for 26 crew members who are on layover to return to the US on El Al. One of United's Tel Aviv flights was cancelled Thursday night while the other returned to Newark, the company said. Russia's aviation authority Rosaviatsiya instructed Russian airlines not to fly 'in the airspace of Israel, Jordan, Iraq and Iran' or use airports in Israel and Iran. It said the restrictions will stay in place until June 26 or until further notice. German airline group Lufthansa suspended flights to and from Tehran until July 31. It also extended the suspension of Tel Aviv flights for the same period. Swiss airline, which is owned by Lufthansa, suspended its Tel Aviv flights until Oct 25 while those to Beirut were suspended until the end of July. In the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi airport warned 'flight disruptions are expected through today (Friday)' as a result of the Israeli strikes. Dubai's airport also announced flight delays and cancellations due to the closure of airspaces in Iran, Iraq and Syria.

US$84bil short book putting pressure on India's rupee
MUMBAI: The Indian rupee is emerging Asia's worst performer this quarter and may continue to lag peers as the central bank aims to avert a depletion in its foreign-exchange reserves, according to analysts. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had dollar repayments of near record high of US$84.3bil as of March as indicated by its net short forwards position, a measure of the amount of greenback it has agreed to sell at a future date. That may pile pressure on the RBI to buy dollars to prevent a drain on its reserves and lead to the rupee falling to 86.50 per dollar by end-December, according to IDFC First Bank Ltd. The currency is likely to weaken to 87.50 per dollar from 85.5813 last Friday, according to estimates by Commerzbank AG. The rupee is on track to 'underperform even as the dollar remains under pressure,' Barclays Bank Plc strategists including Mitul Kotecha wrote in a note. The RBI is expected 'to be focused on replenishing its foreign exchange buffers while allowing its forwards book to run off.' The RBI will likely avoid keeping a large book as it represents a large potential drain on reserves, said Gaura Sen Gupta, chief economist at IDFC First Bank. The rupee has fallen 0.1% this quarter, missing out on a rally against the dollar that has lifted other emerging Asian currencies amid outflows from India's bond market. RBI governor Sanjay Malhotra has been flexible in allowing the currency to transition to a market-determined trading regime. Reserves are expected to cushion volatility in the exchange rate and build resilience to the increasing reoccurrence of geopolitical and economic shocks, the central bank in a report last week. The RBI's short dollar book up to three months stood at about US$24bil while the three-month to one-year bucket was at US$40bil, according to central bank data. — Bloomberg
