Air India Cancels 50 International Flights Amid Middle East Airspace Restrictions

Air India has cancelled 50 international flights scheduled for March 1, 2026, affecting routes to Europe, the US, and Canada due to escalating tensions and airspace closures in the Middle East following a US-Israeli military operation against Iran. The cancellations include flights connecting Delhi, Mumbai, Amritsar, Bengaluru, and other cities to destinations such as London, New York, Toronto, Frankfurt, Paris, and Chicago. The airline cited passenger and crew safety as the primary reason and is assisting affected travelers with rebooking and alternative arrangements while closely monitoring the situation.
