In response to escalating tensions in the region, IndiGo has suspended international flights to Tbilisi, Almaty, Baku, and Tashkent until February 28. The airline has taken precautions to ensure passenger and crew safety amidst ongoing US-Iran tensions. The decision comes as the US and Iran are set to resume negotiations on the nuclear deal in Turkey. However, uncertainty prevails, with Iranian leadership warning of the possibility of a regional war. To mitigate risks, airlines have prioritized safety. IndiGo initially announced flight cancellations on January 26, which were later extended. Air India also stopped overflying Iranian airspace on January 28, rerouting flights via Iraq. Both airlines remain vigilant, reviewing flight operations and ensuring the safety of passengers and crew. Affected customers can visit the IndiGo website to explore alternative travel options or opt for a full refund. The airline will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates through its communication channels.
