116 Flights Cancelled At Mumbai Airport Amid Gulf Airspace Closure

The recent military tensions in the Middle East, particularly between the United States, Israel, and Iran, have significantly impacted global air travel, with Mumbai Airport facing substantial disruptions. A total of 116 flights were cancelled as a result of the ongoing closure of Gulf airspace, leaving many passengers stranded and causing widespread inconvenience. The conflict has escalated in recent weeks, prompting airlines to reroute flights or cancel them altogether to ensure safety. The situation remains fluid, and the Indian aviation sector is closely monitoring developments, as further disruptions could arise if hostilities continue. Passengers are advised to check with their airlines for updates and possible rebooking options amid these unprecedented circumstances.
