Due to the closure of Ukrainian airspace as a result of Russia's military incursion, an Air India plane that took off for Kyiv in Ukraine on Thursday morning to bring back Indians from Ukraine has returned to Delhi. After the Air India flight had departed from Delhi, the Ukrainian authorities issued a NOTAM (Notice to Airmen), which stated that flights of civil aircraft within Ukraine "are restricted due to potential hazard for civil aviation".
