IndiGo Cancels Tbilisi, Almaty, Baku and Tashkent Flights Through Feb. 28 Over Iran Tensions

Precautionary cancellations reflect the carrier's avoidance of Iranian airspace on routes unsuited to long detours.

Overview

  • IndiGo announced that services to and from the four cities are suspended until February 28 in response to the developing situation around Iran.
  • The airline said the move prioritizes passenger and crew safety and follows earlier short-term cancellations that have now been extended.
  • Affected customers can choose alternate travel or a full refund through the carrier’s online portal, with plans under continuous review.
  • These routes typically overfly Iran, and the A320neo aircraft used lack the range for lengthy diversions, prompting cancellations rather than reroutes.
  • Other carriers have adjusted operations as well, with Air India rerouting flights to avoid Iranian airspace and reporting pathways via Iraq.
