[SINGAPORE] Singapore Airlines (SIA) and its budget arm Scoot have stopped flying over Pakistan airspace after fighting broke out between the country and neighbouring India.
The Singapore carriers have been using alternative flight paths since Tuesday (May 6) to avoid the war zone.
In response to queries from The Business Times, an SIA spokesperson said the diversion may result in slightly longer flight times for some flights, without specifying the affected routes.
