Air India announced on Tuesday that it will progressively resume flights to the region starting today, as airspaces gradually reopened in certain parts of the Middle East amid tensions in West Asia. The airline also confirmed that flight operations to and from Europe will resume on Tuesday.

In a statement, an Air India spokesperson said, "As airspaces gradually reopen in certain parts of the Middle East, Air India will progressively resume flights to the region starting today [Tuesday], with most operations to and from the Middle East resuming from June 25 [Wednesday]. Flights to and from Europe, previously cancelled, are also being progressively reinstated from today, while services to and from the East Coast of the US and Canada will resume at the earliest opportunity. Some flights may experience delays or cancellations due to consequential impacts and extended re-routings/flight times, but we are committed to minimising disruptions and restoring our schedule integrity. Air India will continue to avoid airspaces assessed as unsafe at any given time."

The flight disruptions followed a major escalation on Monday after Iran reportedly launched multiple missiles targeting US military installations in Qatar and Iraq, including the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar—the largest US military installation in the region, according to a CNN report.
