Air India has rerouted its Europe and US-bound flights to avoid the Ukrainian airspace.
Air India's non-stop flights to and from New York, Newark and Chicago fly through the Ukranian airspace and the airline is reworking its flight routes to steer clear of the region. Flights to Europe also use routes passing over Ukraine depending upon wind and climate conditions.
Air India and Jet Airways have already been avoiding airspace around Sevastapol in Crimean region. On Thursday instructions were issued to completely avoid Ukraine.
"We have issued orders that all flights will avoid Ukraine airspace. The safety of the passengers is paramount," Air India chairman Rohit Nandan said in a text message.
