With several Gulf nations serving as key hubs for onward international connections and hosting large Gujarati diaspora populations, such disruptions have left hundreds of passengers stranded or forced to reschedule travel plans. Several airlines operating along the route have issued travel advisories urging passengers to check their flight status before leaving. "The flight operations into, out of, and through the Gulf countries have stabilised and are operating as scheduled. However, as airspace over Iran remains restricted, some flights may take alternate routes, which could result in longer travel times. We recommend keeping a close watch on your flight status for the latest updates," said IndiGo airlines on its social media handle. "Due to the recent regional situation, a number of Emirates flights were rerouted en route to Dubai on June 23, but there were no diversions. After a thorough and careful risk assessment, Emirates will continue to operate flights as scheduled, using flight paths well distanced from conflict areas. Some flights may incur delays due to longer re-routings or airspace congestion, but Emirates' teams are working hard to keep to schedule and minimise any disruption or inconvenience to our customers. We advise all customers to check flight status before proceeding to the airport," states an advisory by Emirates.

Qantas jet takes 15-hour flight to nowhere due to West Asian crisis
Passengers aboard a Paris-bound Qantas Airways Ltd. flight spent more than 15 hours in the air only to find themselves back where they started from in Australia after an Iranian missile attack shut down swathes of Middle East airspace. The Boeing Co. 787 jet departed Perth for the usual 17-hour haul to Paris at 7.35 p.m. local time Monday. It made it as far as the south-west fringes of Indian airspace when the airline was told about the missile attack, forcing it to turn around. The plane landed safely back in the Western Australian capital around 11 a.m. Tuesday. Another Qantas flight from Perth bound for London Heathrow was also affected and diverted to Singapore, Qantas said in a statement. Passengers on both flights will be accommodated overnight. The diversions will also affect the return flights from London and Paris, and Qantas said it is working through options for affected passengers. The airline said it would continue to monitor airspace availability and utilize a number of flight paths for flights to Europe factoring in weather and the security situation. Qantas's non-stop European flights from Perth routinely fly over the Middle East region, and at times have been forced to take longer detours to skirt airspace restrictions or stop in Singapore to refuel.
