Air travellers from Gulf to India face pricier, longer journeys amid Middle East conflict
geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.
Several Gulf carriers have altered their routes to prioritise passenger safety, while neighbouring countries in the region have closed their airspace, forcing airlines to navigate alternative routes to avoid the escalating conflict.
The Indian government on Wednesday issued a travel advisory urging its nationals to avoid non-essential travel to Iran. “We are closely monitoring the recent escalation in security situation in the region. Those currently residing in Iran are requested to remain vigilant and stay in contact with the Indian Embassy in Tehran,” read the advisory.
Tensions in the Middle East have worsened after Iran’s missile attacks on Israel which followed Tel Aviv launching a ‘limited’ ground operation in Lebanon targeting Hezbollah strongholds, and the death of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in an airstrike in Beirut last week.
Airfares have surged dramatically, with Google Flights reporting that the least expensive tickets to Tel Aviv typically range from ?71,000 to ?135,000. However, as of Wednesday, prices have escalated to over ?222,000, with industry experts predicting further increases.
