Pakistan has closed a corridor in its airspace, which will result in an additional up to12 minutes of flying time for overseas flights, an Air India official said on Wednesday.
The flights will have to be diverted to other routes due to the closure, the official said.
“One air corridor has been closed (in Pakistani airspace), requiring a maximum of 12 minutes diversion. It will not affect us (much),” said the Air India spokesperson.
Air India operates around 50 flights daily through Pakistani airspace.
These are flights to the US, Europe and the Middle East.
