Overview
- IndiGo suspended services to and from Tbilisi, Almaty, Tashkent and Baku on January 26–28 after earlier canceling January 25 flights between Delhi–Tbilisi and Mumbai–Almaty.
- The airline advised that some January 26 flights on the affected routes could make brief refuelling stops in Doha and urged passengers to monitor flight status updates.
- IndiGo described the schedule changes as proactive safety measures and offered customers rebooking options or full refunds via its website.
- Air India stopped overflying Iran on Europe routes following a January 16 EASA advisory, is currently using Iraqi airspace, and will reassess North America overflight choices once services restart after a U.S. east coast snowstorm.
- EASA advised operators to avoid Iranian airspace at all altitudes due to a higher risk of misidentification, with coverage linking airline decisions to elevated U.S.–Iran tensions and recent U.S. military deployments reported by officials.
