New Delhi: The downing of Flight MH-17 is expected to force airlines
across the world to reassess routes over trouble spots and decide

Air India and Jet Airways claimed they had re-routed their flights to several destinations in Europe almost three months ago to avoid strife-torn eastern Ukraine.
Air India, the national carrier, said it had diverted the route of its flights to London and Paris when the conflict in the area first flared up.
Jet Airways scrambled to soothe fears by posting a note prominently on its website that said its planes did not fly anywhere near Ukraine.
