India Carriers Hit Hard as Middle East Conflict Disrupts Flights

Indian carriers are emerging as the hardest hit outside the Middle East, as airspace closures across the region amid an escalating conflict force widespread cancellations and diversions.

Airlines in India canceled more than 350 flights on Sunday as congestion at airports mounted with diverted traffic, people familiar with the matter said. Disruptions are expected to continue into Monday, marking a third consecutive day of cancellations, they said, asking not to be identified citing rules.
