Israel on full alert amid Iran threat, Indian airlines alter routes

Amid the heightened tensions between Iran and Israel, Vistara said it will make changes to the paths of some of its flights. A spokesperson for the airline said contingency routes, which were kept available to ensure operational continuity during such eventualities, will be used instead. “This may result in longer flight times on certain routes and associated delays,” added the spokesperson. 

A similar announcement was made by Air India, which said its flights will operate on alternate routes to and from India. The airline said it is closely monitoring the developing situation in the Middle East.
