Air India flight to London cancelled because of ‘operational issues'
London: An Air India flight scheduled for the same route as the plane that crashed last week has been cancelled. Flight AI 159 was planned to depart Ahmedabad, India, at 1:10 pm (0740 GMT) on Tuesday, and arrive at Gatwick airport at 6:25 pm. Air India's website shows the flight was initially delayed by one hour and 50 minutes but has since been cancelled. No reason has been given by the airline but Indian newspaper the Hindustan Times reported that an airport official said the cancellation was 'due to operational issues'. An Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner crashed shortly after take-off on June 12 in what was one of the deadliest plane accidents in terms of the number of British nationals killed. The aircraft struck a medical college hostel in a residential part of Ahmedabad, killing 241 of the 242 people on board, 52 of whom were British. The sole surviving passenger was Briton Vishwash Kumar Ramesh. Investigators are yet to determine the cause of the crash. (PA Media/dpa)

Which airlines paused or cancelled flights after Israel's attack on Iran?
Several airlines have suspended or cancelled flights in the Middle East and some countries have shut their airspace after Israel launched a wave of air strikes on Iran. The Israeli attacks targeted military facilities, nuclear sites and residential areas, killing two senior military commanders and nuclear scientists. Here is a list of suspended and rerouted flights: Some countries have also closed their airspace following the attacks. Iran's official news agency IRNA reported that aviation authorities have shut down the country's airspace until further notice. Early on Friday, Iraq closed its airspace and suspended all traffic at its airports, Iraqi state media reported. Eastern Iraq near the border with Iran contains one of the world's busiest air corridors, with dozens of flights crossing between Europe and the Gulf, many on routes from Asia to Europe, at any single moment. The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan's civil aviation authority has also said it 'temporarily' closed Jordanian airspace to all flights 'in anticipation of any dangers resulting from the escalation happening in the region'. Last year, some Iranian missiles that targeted Israeli military bases flew over Jordan, which sits between Israel and Iraq.
