Passengers flying between the UAE and India are advised to check with their airlines for possible delays or cancellations, as Pakistan has closed its airspace to all Indian airlines. The restriction, which took effect on Thursday, April 24, has disrupted several international routes, including those connecting India to the Gulf countries, Europe, and North America.

The closure of Pakistani airspace has forced major Indian carriers like Air India and IndiGo to reroute several international flights. Flights to destinations in North America, Europe, the UK, and the Middle East are now taking longer routes, leading to increased flight durations and operational costs. For instance, flights from Delhi to Europe are experiencing delays of up to an hour, while routes to Gulf countries are seeing extensions of 30 to 45 minutes. 

Air India has issued a statement expressing regret over the inconvenience caused to passengers and emphasised that the safety of customers and crew remains its top priority. IndiGo has also acknowledged the disruptions, noting that some flights have been cancelled or rescheduled to comply with night curfews at certain airports. 

Duration of Airspace Closure

According to reports, the closure of Pakistani airspace to Indian airlines is set to last for a month, ending on May 24, at 5:30 am (Indian time). Passengers planning international travel during this period are advised to check with their respective airlines for updates on flight schedules and potential delays
