IndiGo also cautioned that services operating on Jan. 26, 2026, to and from Tbilisi, Almaty, Baku and Tashkent may face brief halts at Doha for refuelling. However, the airline clarified that no additional operational disruptions have been reported so far.
“In view of the ongoing situation around Iran, some of our flights may experience longer travel times or cancellations,” IndiGo said in a statement, urging passengers to check their flight status in advance and make necessary arrangements to avoid inconvenience.
The developments come as escalating geopolitical tensions in the region have begun to significantly impact global air traffic. Several international airlines have been forced to reroute, delay or cancel flights that typically pass through Iranian airspace — a crucial corridor connecting Asia, Europe, the Middle East and North America.
The current instability is being driven by heightened clashes between Iran and the United States, along with broader regional volatility. As a precautionary measure, aviation regulators and carriers are increasingly avoiding Iranian and neighbouring airspace, citing safety concerns, leading to longer flight times and operational challenges for airlines worldwide.
