PM condoles passing of ex-Gujarat CM Vijay Rupani
Ahmedabad, June 13 (UNI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi today condoled the death of ex-Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani in the recent Ahmedabad air disaster even as he acknowledged his role in boosting the state government's progress and 'ease of living'. The Prime Minister expressed his heartfelt condolences in a tribute posted on social media platform X. In his statement, Modi remembered Rupani as a dedicated and humble leader, who played pivotal roles throughout his political journey — from the Rajkot Municipal Corporation, to being a Rajya Sabha MP, Gujarat BJP President, and eventually the Chief Minister of Gujarat. Modi wrote: 'Met the family of Shri Vijaybhai Rupani Ji. It is unimaginable that Vijaybhai is not in our midst. I've known him for decades. We worked together, shoulder to shoulder, including during some of the most challenging times. Vijaybhai was humble and hardworking, firmly committed to the Party's ideology. Rising up the ranks, he held various responsibilities in the Organisation and went on to serve diligently as Gujarat's Chief Minister.' 'Vijaybhai and I also worked extensively when he was Gujarat CM. He ushered in many measures that enhanced Gujarat's growth trajectory, particularly in boosting 'Ease of Living.' Will always cherish the interactions we had. My thoughts are with his family and friends in this hour of grief.' Rupani was among the 242 people on board Air India Flight AI171, which crashed moments after takeoff from Ahmedabad's Airport en route to London's Gatwick Airport. UNI AJ SSP

Airspace squeeze deepens for Indian airlines amid West Asia crisis
International operations of Indian airlines were thrown into disarray on Friday after Iran, Iraq, Jordan, and Israel closed their airspace on Friday, dealing a severe blow to carriers already grappling with Pakistan's ongoing airspace ban following India's Operation Sindoor last month. These restrictions have narrowed westbound corridors drastically, forcing significant detours, delays, cancellations, and flight recalls, particularly affecting routes to Europe and North America. The Iranian closure came in response to Israel's large-scale military offensive — Operation Rising Lion — targeting nuclear and defense installations across Iran. Iran sealed its airspace, citing security concerns. Iraq, Jordan, and Israel followed suit, escalating the disruption. For Indian airlines, the detour requirements have become significantly longer, leading to increased fuel costs, tight crew rotations, and additional logistical complications. On Friday, IndiGo — India's largest airline — issued a public advisory noting that some of its services may experience longer flight times or cancellations due to airspace closures over Iran and nearby regions. 'Please check your flight status on our website or app before heading to the airport,' the airline said on X. The situation was far more acute for Air India, which had to recall or reroute at least 16 international flights, less than 24 hours after suffering one of the deadliest aviation disasters in Indian history. The fatal crash of AI171 flight in Ahmedabad on Thursday killed 241 passengers and crew and left just one survivor, deepening the airline's ongoing crisis. Air India confirmed on X that multiple transatlantic and Europe-bound flights were impacted. Flight AI130 from London Heathrow to Mumbai was diverted to Vienna, while AI102 from New York to Delhi landed in Sharjah. Another New York service, AI116 to Mumbai, was rerouted to Jeddah. Flight AI2018 from London to Delhi had to be brought down in Mumbai, and AI-106 from Newark to Delhi was diverted to Vienna. Outbound flights faced equally serious complications. AI129 from Mumbai to London and AI119 from Mumbai to New York both returned to Mumbai. From Delhi, AI103 to Washington DC and AI189 to Toronto were recalled after departure. Meanwhile, AI188 from Vancouver to Delhi was sent to Jeddah, and AI101 from Delhi to New York was rerouted to either Frankfurt or Milan depending on prevailing airspace conditions. AI126 from Chicago to Delhi also had to land in Jeddah. Flight AI132 from London to Bengaluru was diverted to Sharjah. Two other flights — AI2016 from London and AI104 from Washington to Delhi -- were both rerouted to Vienna. AI190 from Toronto to Delhi was diverted to Frankfurt. The airline expressed regret for the inconvenience and said passengers on affected flights were being offered complimentary rescheduling or full refunds. 'Alternative arrangements are being made to fly passengers to their destinations,' the airline said, adding that it was providing hotel accommodation where necessary to minimise disruption.
