IndiGo cancels more than 500 flights to Middle East in past 4 days amid widening crisis
Mumbai (PTI): IndiGo on Wednesday said it cancelled over 500 flights to the Middle East and select international destinations from February 28 to March 3 due to the evolving airspace restrictions over Iran and other Gulf countries.
In a regulatory filing, the airline said that it will continue to closely monitor the revenue environment arising from this situation.
With airspace curbs in the Middle East due to the conflict involving the US, Israel and Iran, flight services have been significantly impacted since February 28.
"More than 500 flights to the Middle East and select international destinations have been cancelled between February 28 and March 3," IndiGo said.
It said in the filing, "Our operational teams are continuously assessing the evolving regional developments, recalibrating flight schedules, and planning repatriation operations in coordination with relevant authorities in India and the respective international jurisdictions, with the objective of minimising disruption to passengers."
