IndiGo Cancels Select International Flights Amid Iran–US Tensions, Issues Alerts on Others

IndiGo has cancelled select international flights and issued travel alerts on other services as rising tensions between Iran and the United States continue to disrupt aviation operations across the region.

The airline said the decision was taken due to evolving security conditions and airspace restrictions affecting parts of the Middle East, which have led to longer routings, operational challenges and precautionary schedule adjustments.

IndiGo has advised passengers travelling on affected international routes to closely monitor flight status updates and remain in contact with the airline for the latest information on departures, delays and cancellations.

Airlines globally have been adjusting flight paths and schedules in response to heightened geopolitical risks, particularly on routes transiting West Asian airspace. Such disruptions often result in increased fuel burn, longer flight times and reduced operational flexibility.

IndiGo said it is prioritising passenger safety and operational reliability while continuing to assess the situation. Impacted travellers are being offered rebooking or refund options in line with the airline’s standard policies.

The situation underscores how geopolitical developments can quickly impact global aviation networks, especially for carriers operating high‑frequency international services.
