IndiGo, Air India skirt Iranian airspace; fly alternative routes for long-haul flights

IndiGo and Air India are now avoiding Iranian airspace for flights to Europe, the UK, and the US. This change means longer journeys and more fuel use. IndiGo is suspending some services and reducing others. Air India is also using alternative routes for its west-bound flights. Both airlines are closely monitoring the safety situation.
