Blake Johnson 7NEWS Melbourne Needs to be pointed out that Australia is directly impacted, as Jetstar Asia operates Singapore to Broome flights. Appears this route will end, unless Jetstar Australia take over the route.

Qantas is feeling the pinch of increased international competition and will close its Jetstar Asia base, meaning 500 jobs will go. It means the end of cheap flights between Asian cities, but the airline says the move will benefit passengers back home. youtu.be/RWyIEfPlREs

This is a screenshot from the AI171 crash video. I'm convinced they have flaps set to 0. Flaps should be set to 5 or 15 degrees. At 37C air temperature and a full fuel load, this would 100% result in the aircraft unable to climb. #Ahmedabad #India #AirIndia

An Emirates Boeing 777, including Cabin Crew is currently stuck in Tehran. The plane landed on June 13, shortly before the airspace closure. As a result the return flight to Dubai was cancelled. This is not an ideal situation for the crew given the ongoing attacks.
