Air India says a Delhi–Amritsar flight briefly entered Pakistani airspace during a manoeuvre and that the incident is being investigated. Multiple outlets report that the event involves flight AI479 on June 22. The airline states the crew “marginally infringed” Pakistani airspace, describing the incursion as brief and limited. Air India adds that it has reported the matter to the relevant regulatory authorities and is conducting an internal investigation, according to the airline’s statements. The reports indicate the episode occurred near Amritsar, prompting scrutiny due to cross-border airspace violations. While the outlets reiterate the same core details—brief entry, “marginal” infringement, regulatory reporting, and ongoing investigation—none of the coverage provides additional verified information about the exact duration, altitude, or specific navigation circumstances beyond the airline’s characterization. The probe remains ongoing, with authorities and the airline reviewing what led to the airspace boundary breach.
