Vietnam Airlines said that the tensions between India and Pakistan had affected its flight plans and would provide details regarding re-routing schedules later.
Korean Air said it had began rerouting its Seoul Incheon–Dubai flights on Wednesday, opting for a southern route that passes over Myanmar, Bangladesh, and India, instead of the previous path through Pakistani airspace.
Thai Airways said that flights to destinations in Europe and South Asia would be rerouted starting early Wednesday morning, warning this could cause delays to some flights.
Taiwan’s China Airlines said it had activated its contingency plan and “taken a series of measures to ensure the safety of its passengers and crew.” It did not elaborate. The website of Taiwan’s main international airport at Taoyuan, outside of Taipei, showed that Wednesday’s China Airlines non-stop flight to London had been canceled.
India’s government says it will hold a press briefing on its operation against Pakistan in about 30 minutes in New Delhi.
