Air India Flights To Birmingham And Madrid Affected Due To Pakistan Airspace Closure

The Pakistan airspace has been closed since February 27 when India conducted ‘pre-emptive’, ‘non-military’ strikes on Pakistan’s terror camps in Balakot. The strike was conducted on Jaish-e-Mohammed training camps which took responsibility for the February 14 Pulwama attack.

However, due to the closure many flights from India have to be suspended until alternative routes are discovered. Air India in the UK confirmed on Friday that it would suspend all flights to and from Birmingham Airport from Saturday due to “extraordinary circumstances” involving the closure of Pakistan’s airspace.

The airline said that it will continue to operate daily flights to India from Heathrow airport in London. Only the New Delhi and Amritsar services in and out of Birmingham will be grounded until further updates.
