NDTV's Vishnu Som gives exclusive details from inside an Air India aircraft that was flying to Ukraine to bring home Indians living there, but had to turn back after the east European nation closed its airspace following a Russian invasion. "We turned around when we were in Iranian airspace. We are now over Pakistan's airspace and should be reaching Delhi in a couple of hours. There are just eight passengers on board. The flight captain announced the airspace over Ukraine has shut down. In fact when we left Delhi around 7.30 am today there were already signs of the airspace shutting down.
