Flag carrier Vietnam Airlines has rerouted around 10 flights between Vietnam and European countries including Germany, France and England to avoid Pakistani airspace, it said on Wednesday, after tensions flared between India and Pakistan.

"Flights between Vietnam and Europe will likely continue to be rerouted over the next days, depending on the regional situation," the airline said.

Budget airline Vietjet said it had not been affected by the tensions.
