The Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) said 444 flights are likely to be cancelled on Sunday, a day after 410 services were grounded due to airspace restrictions over Iran and parts of the Middle East. The Ministry said the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) is coordinating closely with airlines to prioritise passenger safety and ensure adherence to operational regulations.
Travellers were advised to check their flight status directly with airlines before leaving for the airport, as schedules remain fluid amid the evolving situation.
MoCA said major airports across the country remain on operational alert to handle possible route diversions and assist affected passengers. Senior officials have been deployed on the ground to oversee airline coordination, terminal crowd management and passenger facilitation.
