Biman Bangladesh Airlines has confirmed that its flights to Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, which normally use Iranian airspace, are now operating via alternative routes. Air India, already grappling with the aftermath of a deadly crash just a day earlier, now faces further complications due to the Iranian airspace closure. Some outbound flights from Delhi and Mumbai returned without reaching their intended destinations due to the sudden change in airspace availability. Biman's General Manager for Public Relations, ABM Raoshan Kabir, said that two of the airline's routes typically pass through Iranian airspace. While those flights have been rerouted, there has been no change to the airline's official schedule, and operations continue without delay.
