Flight operations between India and West Asia have been severely disrupted since the outbreak of conflict in the region, with over 10,000 flights operated by Indian carriers cancelled so far, a senior government official said on Tuesday.
According to Asangba Chuba Ao, Joint Secretary at the Ministry of Civil Aviation, Indian airlines that earlier operated around 300 to 350 daily flights to West Asia are now operating only 80 to 90 flights per day.
The sharp decline highlights the scale of disruption caused by the ongoing war in the region.
