IndiGo and Air India Face Operational Challenges Due to Airspace Disruptions
Indian airlines, including IndiGo and Air India, are experiencing significant operational challenges due to airspace closures over Pakistan and Iran. These closures have forced airlines to take longer detours on international routes, leading to increased costs and more complex crew scheduling. IndiGo has announced the suspension of its new Copenhagen service and a reduction in flights to the UK. Similarly, Air India is rerouting and suspending some flights to avoid Iranian airspace. The disruptions have affected hundreds of weekly services, significantly impacting the airlines' finances and operations.
