flag India’s aviation regulator warns airlines to avoid West Asian airspace due to heightened conflict risks from U.S. and Israeli strikes.

flag India’s aviation regulator, the DGCA, has advised airlines to avoid airspaces over nine West Asian countries—Bahrain, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Qatar, and the UAE—due to escalating military tensions following U.S. and Israeli strikes. flag The advisory, in effect until March 28, 2026, urges airlines to develop contingency plans, avoid flying below 32,000 feet in Saudi Arabia and Oman, and monitor NOTAMs closely. flag The Airline Pilots’ Association of India (ALPA) has urged pilots to exercise heightened situational awareness, conduct thorough risk assessments, and verify war-risk insurance coverage, as providers may limit or withdraw protection in conflict zones. flag Around 280,000 Indian nationals have been repatriated from the region, and limited non-scheduled flights continue between the UAE and India based on safety.
