The advisory follows a sharp escalation in the Middle East region after a joint military operation by Israel and the United States reportedly targeted Iranian military and nuclear-linked sites. The operation, named "Operation Roaring Lion," has led to retaliatory actions and heightened security concerns across the region. In response, Iran, Israel and Iraq closed their airspace, significantly impacting international flight corridors.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described the operation as an attempt to neutralise what he termed an existential threat, while US President Donald Trump confirmed the strikes and warned of further action if hostilities continue. Reports of explosions in parts of Tehran and emergency measures in Israel have added to fears of a broader regional conflict.
The aviation sector has reacted swiftly. Air India suspended all flights to Middle Eastern destinations, citing passenger and crew safety. Qatar Airways temporarily halted services to and from Doha following the closure of Qatari airspace. Meanwhile, IndiGo stated it is closely monitoring developments related to Iran and the surrounding airspace and is prepared to adjust operations as required.
Furthermore, several international airports, including Mangaluru International Airport in Karnataka and Thiruvananthapuram International Airport in Kerala, issued passenger advisories cautioning travellers about possible flight disruptions amid escalating tensions in the Middle East region. (ANI)
