At least 100 international flights have been cancelled at the Delhi airport on Sunday as airlines grapple with operational disruptions due to the Middle East crisis.

A source said 60 international departures and 40 arrivals have been cancelled.

“Due to the evolving political situation in the Middle East, west-bound international flights may experience disruptions or schedule changes,” DIAL said in a post on X.
