Air India is the carrier of India. Air India has made a statement to clear up some things. People were saying that one of Air Indias planes flew over an area in the Middle East that it was not supposed to.. Air India says this is not true. Air India says that none of its planes broke the rules about flying over areas. Air India follows all the rules about flying.
People were worried because they saw some pictures on media that seemed to show an Air India plane flying over a sensitive area in West Asia. This made a lot of people worried because there are a lot of restrictions on flying in the Middle East now.
Air India said that these claims are incorrect and misleading. Air India plans its flight routes carefully. Air India uses the information and advice from around the world to plan its routes. Air India is always watching what is happening and making sure everything is safe.
The safety of passengers is the important thing to Air India. Air India does not fly over areas that are restricted or not safe.
Why was there confusion?
Experts who know about aviation say that maybe the problem was with the way flights are tracked. Sometimes when there is a lot of activity in an area it can affect the signals that are used to navigate. This can make it look like a plane is flying over an area when it is not.
Because of this planes that are actually flying safely can look like they are entering areas they should not be in.
The conflict in the Middle East is causing a lot of problems for flights around the world. Iran, Israel and other countries are involved in the conflict. Some countries have closed their airspace. Restricted it. This means that airlines have to change their flight routes or cancel flights.
A lot of flights have been. Many passengers are stuck in places like Dubai, Doha and Abu Dhabi.
Airlines in India have also been affected. Air India and other airlines have stopped flying to some places in the Middle East for now. They are operating flights to help passengers get home safely.
Air India is watching the situation in West Asia closely. Air India is working with the people in charge of aviation and international agencies to make sure everything is safe. Air India is only operating a flights and special flights to help people who have been affected by cancellations.
The people in charge have said that planning flight routes involves steps. This includes getting approval from the people in charge of aviation following global safety advice and always checking for risks. These systems make sure that planes avoid areas of conflict or restricted airspace.
As the situation in the Middle East continues to affect travel experts say that airlines will keep following safety rules and be flexible with their flight routes until things get back, to normal.
