Although the Western Asian countries re -opened their airy space on Tuesday (June 24, 2025) in the morning after the night weaning in anticipation of new Iran attacks on American air bases, flight services to the AZ Keraly country, various West Asian destinations, continued to affect the flight service effects throughout the night. For example, Air India Express operates around 900 flights to 13 destinations in West Asia with top operations at night. The granting of whole services at night will have a subsequent impact on other services, because these aircraft are moved on other routes.
However, Air India Express, a airline that operates the highest number of flights to West Asian destinations from the country, especially from Kerala, said on Tuesday on Tuesday that it gradually “renews its operations on Delhi – Muscat, Mumbai – Muscat, Kozhikode – Muscat, Kozhikode – Ríyadh – Jeddah -Jeddah. cities in the United Arab Emirates, including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Al Ain and Ras Al Khaimah, as well as other cities in the West Asian region on Wednesday.
Overload
Although the airspaces were reopened, many foreign carriers were still cautious, canceled, overwhelming or redirecting many services to prevent areas considered risky. On Monday evening, eighteen years were canceled from Kochi, while eight flights to Western Asia from Thiruvananthapuram were canceled. After the closure of Pakistan and the Iranian airspace, they experienced air spaces over the West Asian countries a strong overload after the airlines switched to airspace without disturbance.
Although the release of the airspace restriction brought temporary relief to passengers, it caused a sharp increase in tickets to India. On Tuesday evening, tickets from UAE to Kochi were in the range of 80 397 ₹- 1,13 lakh. Similarly, the tariffs on Wednesday are in the range of 55 000-90 000 ₹ -90 000 ₹ Lakh on Wednesday. “These are not predatory prices. The seats are less, but the demand is high, which drives tariffs. On the other hand, tariffs to Western Asia are normal or below normal,” the sources of airlines said.
Airlines also explained that a consistent, continuous and easier air space is the primary requirement of the aerospace industry. Any disruption, including the closure of the air space for a short time in a short time, will affect the operational revenues of airlines and timely operation of services. Passengers must therefore maintain vigilia against cancellation, overwhelming and redirecting at least until the region is backing back to full normalness, sources of airlines said.
