Iran-Israel War: India-West Flights Face Longer Routes, Higher Fares

• Passengers flying between India and Europe/North America face longer journeys and rising ticket prices.
• Airlines reroute flights to avoid conflict-hit airspace in West Asia, increasing flying time.
• Longer routes mean higher fuel consumption and operational costs, passed on to passengers.
• Disruption reduces available flights, tightening capacity and further increasing airfares.
• Geopolitical tensions in West Asia directly affect global travel with passengers bearing the brunt.
