Two Air India planes flew over Iran airspace a few hours before Israel attack
At least two Air India planes flew through Iranian-controlled airspace hours before Iran launched a major airstrike on Israel; this would put many passengers and crew at risk. The specter of conflict between Iran and Israel loomed over the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman between April 13 and April 14, according to data from Flightradar24, a website that tracks flights.
Iran attacked Israel over the weekend and launched at least 300 drones and missiles. On April 1, warplanes attacked the Iranian embassy building in Damascus, Syria. As tensions between the two countries increase, Iran's military attack is expected to continue for a few more days.
Air India's aircraft include Boeing 777-232 and Boeing 777ER with a capacity of approximately 280 and 330 passengers. An Air India spokesperson said the airline attaches great importance to the safety of its passengers, crew and aircraft. In the two cases reported by HT.com, a spokesperson stated that the company stopped taking security measures and said, "Regardless of the aircraft, our flight operation plans are subject to risk assessment and we do not compromise on security." . “While Iranian airspace will be open for use by civil aviation from 13 April 2024, there are no restrictions or NOTAMs and airlines continue to operate in this airspace, Air India is monitoring the situation in discussions with various security development organizations in the Middle East. and As part of our risk assessment by the Regulators, some of our western flights are scheduled to reroute along the safety route also used by other airlines.
