Hours after US President Donald Trump announced that an agreement on the ceasefire had been reached between Israel and Iran, several countries in the Gulf area began to reopen its airspace and alleviated flight disruption.
On Tuesday, the low -cost carrier Indigo said flight operations in the Gulf area stabilized. However, he warned passengers that there could be some delay because the airspace above Iran remains closed.
“Flight operations to Persian Gulf countries have stabilized and work according to plan,” the carrier said in a contribution to the X -Social Media platform.
“Since the air space above Iran remains limited, some flights can take alternative routes, which could lead to longer travel times. We recommend maintaining careful monitoring of your flight for the latest updates,” he added.
“We assure you that we are here to help you and ensure smooth easier during your trip. Thank you for your further understanding and confidence when we try to bring you safely to your destination.”
Flight operations in the region were suspended after Iran launched missile attacks on US military installations in Qatar and Iraq, including the largest US military base in the region – Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. These attacks were considered to be a retaliatory step of Iran after American air strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities – Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow – on Sunday hours.
Then most Gulf countries, including UAE, closed their air space, which led to the abolition of flights by several airlines. According to Bloomberg, dozens of aircraft were diverted from Dubai and Doha during disruption, which lasted several hours.
In India, Tuesday morning, flight operations at Indira Indira Indira Gandhi International Airport were seriously affected by Monday evening, with 48 cancellations, according to the press agency.
Among the affected services were 28 incoming flights and 20 were outgoing, with the national carrier Air India and a cheap indigo operator with the inscription of disruption.
Air India had 17 arrivals and 10 departure cancellations, a total of 27 flights. Indigo followed the eight arrival and seven cancellations of departure, which represents 15 flights. Other airlines, including global carriers, recorded three arrivals and three departures.
