The Press Information Bureau (PIB) Fact Check unit has refuted claims that the Delhi-Mumbai airline route is temporarily closed, according to a report by news agency ANI.

According to ANI, taking to social media platform X (formerly Twitter), the PIB labelled the claim as “fake” and clarified that the Delhi-Mumbai airline route remains operational. Instead, it noted that the Airports Authority of India (AAI) has extended the temporary closure of 25 Air Traffic Service (ATS) route segments within the Delhi and Mumbai Flight Information Regions due to operational reasons.
