Iran-US tensions: IndiGo cancels flights to and from these cities till 28 February – check details
IndiGo issued a travel alert on Tuesday, warning passengers about cancellations on certain routes and stating that flight schedules have been adjusted taking into account the latest developments around Iran and the country’s tensions with the United States.
These disruptions come at a time when tensions between Iran and the United States have increased, with President Donald Trump previously announcing that the United States would move naval warships closer to the region.
However, the situation may ease in the coming days, with Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian on Tuesday signaling a conditional willingness to begin negotiations with Washington and hinting at a possible diplomatic opening.
“Considering the evolving situation in Iran, we have made additional adjustments to our flight schedule to ensure a safe and seamless experience for our customers and crew,” IndiGo said on X (formerly Twitter).
Which IndiGo flights will be affected?
The country’s largest carrier by market value announced changes to many international flights due to the evolving security situation in certain regions.
Flights are canceled until February 28, 2026.
- To and from Tbilisi (Georgia)
- To and from Almaty (Kazakhstan)
- To and from Baku (Azerbaijan)
- To and from Tashkent (Uzbekistan)
The airline advised passengers to check their flight status regularly and keep in touch with customer support for the latest updates. Flyers can also explore alternative options, including future flights or full refunds, on IndiGo’s official website.
“Our plans will continue to be reviewed regularly as the situation continues to evolve. Any further updates or changes will be shared through our communication channels,” Airline X said in the post.
Latest details on the Iran-US situation
President Pezeshkian said in an official statement that he was acting in response to requests from “friendly governments in the region” who had called on Tehran to respond to the US president’s offer of talks.
He also added that he instructed the Iranian foreign minister to explore the basis for negotiations, provided that key conditions are met, and especially emphasized that the talks will be held within the framework of national interests.
The development comes as regional tensions rise after Washington sent an aircraft carrier strike group to the Middle East following Iran’s deadly response to anti-government protests that peaked last month.
US President Donald Trump said he was still hopeful that Washington and Iran could reach an agreement and that the US could “work something out” with Tehran. He also warned that “bad things will happen” if a deal is not reached.
