As Russia begins its attacks on Ukraine, the airspace in the region has shut down. An Air India flight bound for Kyiv had to return half way in the early hours of February 24, after Ukraine shuts down its airspace amidst the ongoing conflict. The repatriation flight by Air India had entered Iran airspace when it had to make its way back to India, thus unable to complete the journey.
The Indian embassy in Ukraine has also suggested Indian nationals, especially students, to temporarily leave the country. A detailed travel advisory from the concerned authorities is awaited.
