LONDON, (Reuters) – Virgin Atlantic stated Friday that it would not use Russian airspace. That means flights from Britain to India or Pakistan will take slightly more time.

A spokesperson for the airline said that they apologized to any customers who were inconvenienced by longer flight times.

“The safety of our customers is the most important thing. We are monitoring Russia and Ukraine closely following an escalation in conflict. Our operations will continue in complete compliance with all relevant safety regulators and authorities.

Flying between Britain, India and Pakistan may take between 15-60 minutes.
