Iran Airspace Closure Causes Flight Disruptions for Indian Airlines

Iran temporarily closed its airspace amid escalating tensions with the United States and nationwide protests, prompting Indian airlines Air India, IndiGo, and SpiceJet to reroute or cancel several international flights. The closure, lasting around five hours, affected flights primarily to the US and Europe, causing delays due to longer alternative routes over Iraq and other regions. Airlines advised passengers to check flight statuses and offered flexible rebooking or refunds. The situation remains fluid amid ongoing regional instability.
