India's aviation sector reels from the fallout of a intensifying Middle East crisis, with 281 flights cancelled by domestic carriers on March 5 (Thursday), as the Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) maintains vigilant oversight of the volatile situation. The cancellations stemmed directly from airspace closures across multiple West Asian countries, triggered by the conflict entering its fourth day. US and Israeli strikes on Iran, which fatally struck Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei and other key figures, prompted Tehran's retaliatory attacks on American bases and Israeli assets. This chaos forced Indian airlines to suspend operations, affecting both domestic and international routes. At major hubs like Mumbai, Delhi and Bengaluru, at least 170 international flights were axed on Thursday alone. Passengers faced widespread disruptions, with the ministry confirming the tally on X and urging travellers to check statuses via official airline channels and registered contacts before heading to airports.
