Air India

[Matt995]

So where are all the passengers going now via AMS , CDG , FRA, or some other hub or are they all going down to LHR as there flight's aren't cancelled .

Would imagine anyone who had booked with Air India would either be transferred to their LHR service or given a refund.

Travelled back into BHX on Saturday afternoon. The air raids carried out by the Indian Air force happened few days after i got there. Not what you expect when you just unpacked your luggage . The Indian airlines are suffering massive losses since Pakistan closed their air space. Lets hope this situation resolves quickley.

Am I right in assuming these flights won't continue on to ATQ, if the airspace restrictions are still in place?

The Delhi-Amritsar leg, and vica a versa are unaffected, its just an internal India flight, doesnt touch Pakistan airspace, and has been operating as normal last few days.

I was thinking more of the extra time required to fly the DEL-BHX-DEL sectors and whether that would be too long for the aircraft to fly the DEL-ATQ sectors.

VT-ANY is en route from Delhi, still taking an extended route south avoiding Pakistan.

Even though it's only 3x weekly for now it's great to see them back so quickly

I love being proven wrong. Now will the airport please put out a positive press release and the BBC please support BHX and respond with a positive news article.

Cool.

 

[Silvercity]

That's good news if they are back as I need to make a reservation to Delhi for September.

A shame then that they currently dont, lol

I wonder if ATQ will return, I have my doubts if i'm being really honest with the state of Indian airlines at the moment.

Lol. That will confuse the heck out of the readers. I forgot that they were temporarily suspended. Fingers crossed for a return soon.

They gave the slots back to etihad so I doubt they will

Amritsar to return in July, if not sooner. This is BHX though so there is a 'but', it is subject to aircraft availability and Pakistan opening their airspace completely.

It does confirm that there are 'no plans' to start Amritsar - Luton and despite the MP saying that they were meant to start in April the LTN ACL start of season report has no Indian airlines listed at all.

[Matt995]

Pakistan airspace still showing closed for India flights until at least 14th June, and may well continue for much longer, guess this will put a question mark on the Amristar flights restarting in July?
