Live EventsEuropean carriers including Lufthansa, British Airways, SWISS, ITA Airways, and LOT Polish Airlines have begun rerouting flights to avoid Pakistani airspace, even as Pakistan had already closed certain airways to Indian carriers. On May 2, Lufthansa, ITA Airways, and LOT Polish Airlines also started diverting flights away from Pakistan.Affected flights include Lufthansa’s services on routes such as Munich–Delhi, Frankfurt–Mumbai, Frankfurt–Hyderabad, and Bangkok–Munich. Similarly, LOT’s Warsaw–Delhi and ITA Airways’ Rome–Delhi flights were seen bypassing Pakistan. The moment India–Pakistan conflict escalates, all flights will steer clear of the conflict zones. If a region is considered unsafe—even in the absence of formal NOTAMs—they may choose to reroute aircraft to maintain safety.
