Pakistan has abruptly closed its airspace to Indian airlines amid escalating tensions following the Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir. IndiGo acknowledged disruptions to several international flights, urging passengers to check flight status and explore rebooking or refund options. Air India announced that flights to or from North America, the UK, Europe, and the Middle East will take extended alternative routes, providing helpline numbers for affected passengers. The sudden restriction, without prior notice, has left airlines scrambling to manage schedules and offer alternate arrangements. Flights typically passing through Pakistani airspace en route to the Middle East or Europe are expected to experience increased durations and connectivity issues.
