New Delhi, February 16 IndiGo extended the cancellation of flights to and from Tbilisi, Almaty, Baku, and Tashkent until March 28 due to developments related to Iran.
Earlier, the airline had cancelled services to these cities until February 28.
IndiGo and Air India have stopped using Iranian airspace and are flying alternative routes for their long-haul flights.
Considering the ongoing developments in the region around Iran and its associated airspace, flights to/from Tbilisi (Georgia), Almaty (Kazakhstan), Tashkent (Uzbekistan), and Baku (Azerbaijan) remain affected, IndiGo said in a post on X.
"The previously announced cancellations have been extended until March 28, 2026. The safety and well-being of our customers and crew remain our highest priority, and we continue to closely monitor the situation while reviewing schedules to minimize inconvenience," the airline said.
Tensions have escalated between Iran and the United States, and there are concerns that the situation could lead to a military conflict.
On February 4, IndiGo said it would adjust its long-haul flights operated with leased Dreamliners, suspending services to Copenhagen from February 17, while flights on the Delhi-London-Heathrow and Delhi-Manchester routes would also be reduced.
In a statement, the airline had said its wide-body operation has faced external operational constraints such as continuously changing airspace constraints due to geopolitical circumstances, congestion at airports in India and abroad.
"These factors significantly increased flight and block times, causing strain on IndiGo's 787-9 schedule, which is operated with six wide-body aircraft," it had said.
