Even as the West Asia conflict continues to restrict flights and airspace in the Middle East, Air India has announced it will operate 36 flights to Europe and Canada from March 19 to 28. The flights will be on the Delhi-London (Heathrow), Mumbai-London (Heathrow), Delhi-Frankfurt, Delhi-Zurich, and Delhi-Toronto routes. The airline's statement said the flights will add 10,012 seats across the five routes. "These services follow Air India's recently announced capacity augmentation between 10 and 18 March with 78 additional flights on nine routes," said the statement. 

Earlier, in a statement, it was also announced that Air India and AI Express will operate 44 non-scheduled and scheduled West Asia flights today. Earlier today, the UAE had briefly closed its airspace as explosions sounded over it. The closure was lifted soon. Flightradar24 said earlier today that, though certain Middle East airspaces are reopening, they are also closed in varying degrees from the UAE to Israel due to strikes. Many airlines are also cancelling or rerouting planes due to widespread disruption.
