IndiGo Flight Last to Exit Iran Airspace Before Closure Amid US Tensions

  • Iran closed its airspace to commercial flights early Thursday morning due to threats of a US attack.
  • IndiGo Flight 6E1808 from Tbilisi, Georgia, was the last non-Iran-registered aircraft to exit Iranian airspace at 2:35 am.
  • The closure, lasting over four hours, significantly disrupted international flights, forcing diversions.
  • Indian carriers like Air India, IndiGo, and SpiceJet rerouted or cancelled international services.
  • The airspace shutdown occurred amidst widespread anti-government protests in Iran and rising US-Iran tensions.

Why It Matters: Iran's airspace closure, prompted by US tensions, caused major flight disruptions, with an IndiGo flight being the last to exit.
