India's Air India and IndiGo Airlines have issued travel advisories due to the closure of Iran's airspace amid ongoing protests. The airlines have resorted to alternative routing for flights passing through the region to ensure passenger safety. However, this may lead to delays, and some flights are being cancelled. According to Air India, flights that cannot be rerouted are being grounded. The airline urges passengers to check their flight status before heading to the airport. 'The safety of our passengers and crew remains our top priority,' Air India said in a statement. The closure of Iran's airspace, which has been extended until 7:30 pm ET, is a result of the country's decision to restrict air travel due to the ongoing unrest. The United States has also withdrawn some personnel from its bases in the Middle East in response to the situation. IndiGo Airlines has also been affected, with some international flights experiencing disruptions. 'The sudden airspace closure by Iran has impacted our international flights,' the airline said in a statement. IndiGo is offering flexible rebooking options to affected passengers and assures them of continued support throughout the situation. The airlines' actions aim to mitigate the impact of the airspace closure on passengers' travel plans. As the situation continues to evolve, both Air India and IndiGo will keep their passengers informed and provide necessary assistance.
