Hi. Looks like MUC-DEL and DEL-MUC along with FRA-DEL have been consistently and significantly delayed every day since the end of Feb - does anyone know why and whether it could improve since I am unlikely to make my connections at either end when I fly in a couple of weeks.

DEL-MUC - https://www.airportia.com/flights/lh763/
MUC-DEL - https://www.airportia.com/flights/lh762/

EDIT - to answer my own question, it's because of the escalation with Pakistan who have closed their airspace. I found a track of the flights which are being routed around the south of Pakistan. So I fly Pune to Delhi and then back down again!

May be relaxed from today for east-west flights according to this - https://ops.group/blog/pakistan-india/
