Yes a whole bunch of them landed in EU yesterday. UA EWR-DEL landed in LHR. UA EWR - BOM landed in FRA. AC YYZ-DEL I think turned around and went home.

The PAK airspace is closed today as well. That will disrupt things even more.

It’s especially worse for the US airlines who aren’t supposed to fly over IRN airspace already. They really have to take a circuitous route.
