Some things come full circle. Such as this Sichuan Airlines flight.

A flight that departed China’s Sichuan province heading for Dubai returned after six hours in the air due to concerns of “military activity,” Caixin has learned.

The incident happened soon after India and Pakistan said they shot down each other’s fighter jets above their disputed border area.

Sichuan Airlines’s flight 3U603 departed from Chengdu at 2:45 p.m. on Wednesday, and remained in a holding pattern above Sichuan before arriving back at Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport at 8:56 p.m.

Sichuan Airlines told Caixin the action was taken due to "military activity” alerts, though staff from the company didn’t say the incident was directly connected to the recent conflict between Pakistan and India, which includes airspace close to the flight’s route.
