Overview
- IndiGo said it has suspended operations to Saudi Arabia and cancelled services to Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam and Madinah while the security situation evolves.
- The airline issued a travel advisory directing customers to check flight status online and said its support teams are available to assist affected passengers.
- Other Indian carriers have also paused services to the Kingdom, and some airlines are offering refunds or free rebooking for affected bookings.
- News reports linked the move to reported Houthi airstrikes and strikes on Saudi airports that raised immediate safety and airspace concerns.
- The suspension is temporary and subject to change, but it risks disrupting pilgrim and business travel and could affect wider regional connectivity until conditions improve.
