Airspace Closure Over Iran Disrupts Flight Paths, Hits Indian Carriers' Europe Routes
Last Updated: Amid the conflict and growing tensions between Iran and Israel, the Iranian airspace has been shut for commercial flights The closure of Iranian airspace due to rising tensions between Iran and Israel is causing major disruptions to Indian airlines flying to Europe, officials said on Sunday. IndiGo flights to Tbilisi in Georgia and Baku in Azerbaijan now have to make a technical stop for refuelling in Doha, Qatar. Meanwhile, Air India is re-routing its European flights through Egyptian and Greek airspace to avoid the closed Iranian skies. The Iranian airspace has been closed for commercial flights since Friday amid ongoing conflict, forcing airlines to take longer routes. This has increased flight times and caused congestion over alternate paths. An official explained that IndiGo uses narrow-body Airbus A321 planes on its routes to Tbilisi and Baku. These aircraft do not have the range to fly nonstop on longer routes, which is why refuelling stops at Doha have become necessary. On the other hand, Air India operates wide-body Boeing 787s and Airbus A350s on its European flights. While Air India's flights do not require technical stops, the alternate routing has increased flight durations by up to 90 minutes. Both IndiGo and Air India have not made formal comments, but IndiGo posted on its X account that the airspace restrictions over Iran are causing congestion and possible delays on routes to and from the Gulf region. It added that extended travel times should be expected while they operate via alternate paths. Air India also posted on X on Saturday that, due to the situation in Iran and parts of the Middle East, some flights are operating on longer, alternative routes to ensure passenger safety. The longer flights increase operational costs for airlines because of extra fuel consumption and also create challenges with Flight Duty Time Limitations (FDTL) for crew members. Earlier this year, IndiGo temporarily cancelled flights to Almaty in Kazakhstan and Tashkent in Uzbekistan because of aircraft range limits following Pakistan's airspace closure.

IndiGo's Tbilisi, Baku flights make one stop at Doha due to Iranian airspace closure
IndiGo flights to Tbilisi and Baku are now making a technical stop for refuelling at Doha, and Air India is re-routing its European flights through the Egyptian airspace due to the Iranian airspace closure , officials said on Sunday. Amid the conflict and growing tensions between Iran and Israel, the Iranian airspace has been shut for commercial flights. The duration of flights from India to Europe have increased as airlines are taking longer routes due to the closure since Friday. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Nguyen Cu Trinh: Unsold Furniture Liquidation 2024 (Prices May Surprise You) Unsold Furniture | Search Ads Learn More Undo One of the officials said IndiGo flights from Delhi and Mumbai to Tbilisi (Georgia) and Baku (Azerbaijan) are making a technical stop for refuelling at Doha (Qatar). IndiGo operates narrow-body A321 planes on the two routes and these aircraft do not have the range to operate non-stop longer duration flights. Live Events The second official said Air India is now operating flights through Egypt and Greece to reach European cities. While there are no technical stops enroute, the flight duration has increased by up to 90 minutes, the official added. Air India operates wide-body Boeing 787s and Airbus 350s on the European routes. There were no comments from IndiGo and Air India. "Due to the ongoing airspace restrictions over Iran , flight routes to and from the Gulf region are currently experiencing congestion, which may result in delays on certain sectors. "As we continue to operate via alternate paths, extended travel times may be expected," IndiGo said in a post on X on Sunday. Air India, in a post on X on Saturday, said that due to the emerging situation in Iran and parts of the Middle East, the subsequent closure of airspace, and in view of the safety of our passengers, some of its flights are operating on alternative extended routes. Already, Air India flights to North America are flying longer routes due to the Pakistan airspace closure. Increased flying hours means higher operational costs as aircraft have to burn more fuel and airlines also face issues with Flight Duty Time Limitation (FDTL) for the crew. In April, IndiGo temporarily cancelled flights to Almaty (Kazhakastan) and Tashkent (Uzbekistan) due to aircraft operational range constraints in the wake of the Pakistan airspace closure.
