According to the PIB, these reports are false, and the air travel route remains unaffected. The confusion arose after social media posts spread rumours suggesting that flights had been suspended. However, the PIB clarified that these claims were based on a misunderstanding of temporary operational changes.

The Airports Authority of India (AAI) recently adjusted specific Air Traffic Service (ATS) routes in the Delhi and Mumbai Flight Information Regions. These changes are part of routine air traffic management to ensure smoother operations. While the AAI has extended the temporary closure of 25 route segments, it is important to note that this does not impact scheduled flights. As reported by the PIB, modifying ATS routes is a common practice and does not equate to flight cancellations.
