Air India flights to New York and Chicago took off some time back today, sources in the airline said. Sources said both these flights will go over Sharjah, adding that while the flight to New York took off at 11.11 am the flight to Chicago left 11.44 am.
With Pakistan shutting its airspace to airlines several global airlines have had to look at alternate routes for flights going and coming from India.
The closure of Pakistan is likely to see flying time between India and Europe and US to increase by between 90 to 120 minutes, sources said.
