IndiGo Extends Flight Suspensions to Saudi Arabia Amid Security Concerns
IndiGo has extended the suspension of its flights to Riyadh until October 31, 2026, and to Jeddah, Dammam, and Madinah until October 27, citing evolving security concerns following recent drone and missile attacks in Saudi Arabia. The cancellations follow an attack at King Fahd International Airport in Dammam that killed an Indian national and injured others. Other Indian airlines, including Air India, Air India Express, and Akasa Air, have also extended flight suspensions. Indian missions are assisting affected travelers and advising nationals on safety and alternative travel routes.
