The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DCGA) has announced today that all Indian airlines will avoid the Iranian airspace. The decision came as the tension between Iran and the US is continuing. The DGCA has confirmed the decision in a tweet.
” All Indian operators in consultation with DGCA have decided to avoid the affected part of Iranian Airspace to ensure safe travel for the passengers. They will re-route flights suitably”, DGCA tweeted.
