Air India has confirmed that it will progressively resume its flight operations to the Middle East starting June 25, as airspaces in the region reopen. According to the airline, flights to and from Europe that were previously cancelled will also start returning to normal operations today.

Operations to the East Coast of the United States and Canada are also expected to resume at the earliest opportunity. The airline had halted flights to these regions on Monday due to escalating tensions in the Middle East, which led to several countries closing their airspaces.

While some flights might face delays or cancellations due to extended rerouting, Air India assured that it is dedicated to reducing disruptions and maintaining schedule integrity. It will continually avoid airspaces deemed unsafe.
