Air Canada has temporarily suspended flights to India amid growing tensions between that country and Pakistan.

The airline had to turn back a flight en route to Delhi over the Atlantic Ocean and return to Toronto, Air Canada spokesperson Peter Fitzpatrick told the Star in an email Wednesday.

Aircraft was over Scandanavia when it was turned back. After the Ukraine shootdown, the most Airlines will not chance another repeat event.

LOTS of chatter about the Indian Navy on the move tonight, but lots of disinfo operations on TWitter, Snapchat, and other platform. The Paki's seem to be expecting something big coming.

Perhaps India will bomb Pakistan into the Stone Age ... and get credit for promoting the greatest advance of a human civilization in history.

Pakistan has played fast and loose with the terrorists for far too long without suffering any consequences.

Their karma is long overdue!!

I seriously doubt they do it, but if they did, they better do it completely. at least the complete elimination of all nuke sites and weapons within Pakistan.

These Pakistan-based terrorist groups are an extension of the Pakistani Army, controlled by the ISI. We have known this for a decade.

Seems the Indians are now honked off enough to do something about it.

For Pakistan, the Stone Age would be a step forward.

In the event of war, it might be a good idea to dump these security:

No, this is not click bait. It’s a legitimate ETF.

I think Canada has had bigger problems with its own Sikhs, bombs, and other countries' aircraft.

See Air India Flight 182.

I had a lot of Sikh and Punjabi classmates in Vancouver during HS and I still know more than a few until today. They are not the ISIS type and pro-capitalist. The only thing I find “offensive” is the strong smell of curry in their houses which is overbearing...

I think this stuff could get out of hand really quick. If it does it will be fortunate if it is only confined to the subcontinent.
