An IndiGo flight from Delhi to Manchester was forced to return shortly after take-off due to last-minute airspace restrictions linked to the evolving situation in the Middle East. The airline said the sudden limitations prevented the aircraft from continuing its scheduled journey.
According to the airline, changing conditions in and around the Middle East may also result in longer routes or diversions for other flights. IndiGo is coordinating with relevant authorities to explore options for resuming the service once conditions permit, while emphasizing that passenger and crew safety remains its top priority. Airlines operating international routes have been adjusting flight paths as shifting airspace conditions disrupt key global corridors.
