NEW DELHI: Air India said on Tuesday that airlines would "progressively resume flights" to West Asia as airspace gradually reopens in parts of the conflict-hit region.
The airlines, however, said that most operations to and from the Middle East will resume from June 25.
"Flights to and from Europe, previously cancelled, are also being progressively reinstated from today, while services to and from the East Coast of the US and Canada will resume at the earliest opportunity. Some flights may experience delays or cancellations due to consequential impacts and extended re-routings/flight times, but we are committed to minimising disruptions and restoring our schedule integrity.
Air India will continue to avoid airspaces assessed as unsafe at any given time," the Air India Spokesperson said.
The decision to resume operations comes hours after Israel and Iran accepted a ceasefire plan proposed by US President Donald Trump to end their 12-day war that has roiled the West Asia. The agreement followed Tehran's retaliatory limited missile attack on a US military base in Qatar.
Both sides accepted the deal after Tehran launched a final onslaught of missiles targeting Israel, killing at least five people early Tuesday morning.

In response, Israel carried out a blitz of airstrikes on sites across Iran before dawn.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel had agreed to a bilateral ceasefire with Iran in coordination with Trump.
Netanyahu told Israel's security cabinet on Monday night that Israel had achieved all of its war goals in the 12-day operation against Iran. These, he said, included "removing the threat of Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile programs."
He added that Israel also damaged Iran's military leadership, struck several government sites, and "achieved control over Tehran's skies."
The Israeli PM, however, warned that Israel would respond "forcefully to any violation of the ceasefire'.

Iran's nuclear facilities 'intact' after US attack? White House says 'top secret assessment' 'flat out wrong'
Iran's Fordow nuclear site after US attack. The core components of Ira's nuclear program are intact, and they can be set back by months, a top secret assessment of the US intelligence revealed, CNN reported. The report said the assessment was produced by the Defense Intelligence Agency, based on the battle damage assessment conducted by US Central Command. CNN quoted two people familiar with the assessment who said Iran's stockpile of uranium was not destroyed. One said they were "largely intact". The White House reacted to the CNN report and said there was a "top secret" assessment which was classified but was leaked to CNN by "an anonymous, low-level loser in the intelligence community". White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the assessment has been rejected by the administration as "flat-out wrong". "The leaking of this alleged assessment is a clear attempt to demean President Trump, and discredit the brave fighter pilots who conducted a perfectly executed mission to obliterate Iran's nuclear program. Everyone knows what happens when you drop fourteen 30,000 pound bombs perfectly on their targets: total obliteration," Leavitt said to CNN in her statement. Earlier, Donald Trump named CNN and slammed them for questioning the ability of the B-2 bomber pilots who flew for 18 hours, entered Iran and dropped the bunker-busters, and drove home back for another 18 hours -- without being attacked. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villa For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Villas in Dubai | Search ads Learn More Undo Where is Iran's uranium stockpile? Vice President JD Vance's statement hinted that the stockpile remains with Iran. On Fox News, the vice president said the location of the uranium is not the question before the US now but the question is whether Iran can make nuclear weapons from what they have. The Iranian stockpile of uranium was believed to have been located mainly at Isfahan, which houses a conversion facility that turns uranium into the form that can be fed into centrifuges for enrichment. 'The goal was to bury the uranium, and I do think the uranium is buried,' Vance said. Vance dismissed the possibility that Iran moved the stockpile before the attack and said the Midnight Hammer mission was successful.

‘Dear Donald.' Trump Posts Fawning Private Text From Nato Chief On Social Media News18
The message started by congratulating Donald Trump on his 'decisive action in Iran' and then got even more flattering, gushing about reaching the precipice of achieving 'something NO American president in decades could have done.'This wasn't an ardent supporter swooning or the president taking to social media to sing his own praises in his familiar ALL CAPS style. This was NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte heaping direct praise on Trump as he flew to a two-day NATO summit in the Netherlands.'Mr. President, dear Donald,' Rutte's message began, as seen by a screenshot Trump posted on his social media network. 'Congratulations and thank you for your decisive action in Iran, that was truly extraordinary, and something no one else dared to do. It makes us all safer.'The fawning tone may have been an attempt to butter up Trump ahead of a key meeting — the kind of effusive praise that British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has adopted lately in negotiating and then announcing a recent trade agreement between the United Kingdom and the U.S. that is meant to ease Trump's promised steep tariffs on imported British goods.
