Air India cancels some US flights due to Iranian airspace closure

Air India on Thursday cancelled at least three flights to the US, and certain services to Europe will face some delays due to Iranian airspace closure, according to a source.

At least three flights — two from the national capital to New York and Newark, and one from Mumbai to New York — have been cancelled, the source said

In a post on X, the airline said that due to the emerging situation in Iran, the subsequent closure of its airspace, and in view of the safety of our passengers, flights overflying the region are now using an alternative routing, which may lead to delays.
